And what are the use cases we want fedora to cover? Prior to Fedora 21, I'm not sure we could really claim to have a targeted user base. The products (or whatever name we settle on, see the council-discuss thread) are a great start to defining more specific target audiences. They're still relatively broad, but I expect that as they mature, we'll see that they better define what the target is and we'll be better at understanding who is actually using Fedora and for what. > Can we > have "Freedom" and be "First" and still cater to everyone's needs? No, and that's okay. We could get rid of either of those and still not cater to everyone's needs. The important thing is to meet the needs we're trying to meet. I personally consider "first" to be the most flexible of the foundations, in the sense that we could offer the occasional release with longer support without compromising it. I doubt we'll get a large share of the non-savvy user base in the same way that Ubuntu did, but we don't have to. -- Ben Cotton -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
