Just asking... No need, those companies all know exactly where to find the kernel and other linux developers, we don't hide anywhere. If they want to work with us, we are availble. There is no responsibility for us to go seek out them if they don't want to work together in the first place. In short, don't blame the Fedora/kernel developers, blame the companies who are not participating in the open development process. thanks, greg k-h
