Red Hat employees are generally hired because they were a part of a project in the first place and were valuable enough to be paid to continue their work, allowing them to devote more than just spare time to the task. Full disclosure: *I* work for Red Hat. I'm paid to work on the code for a couple package that I also happen to maintain in Fedora. I also manage several other packages, and work upstream with the coders, that are totally unrelated to my job but are things for which I have a passion. And there are many, many other Red Hat employees that do the same. -- Darryl L. Pierce <mcpierce@xxxxxxxxx> http://mcpierce.multiply.com/ "What do you care what people think, Mr. Feynman?"
