Instead of the user staring at the splash screen until the login comes up, we could sell advertising. Static jpgs. Facebook or Google would probably be willing to throw a few hundred thousand if we did that to have their ad flash instead of the splash screen. Or even Microsoft and Mac might want to advertise their OSs to a possibly receptive audience. If that doesn't fly, maybe RedHat would be willing to advertise their server OS, or Fedora could put helpful hints up, like pointing to the user list, or how to contribute, or where to find documentation. Maybe all of the above, randomly selected each boot. Paid advertisements could contribute to Fedora development. Pizza at the development conferences, or more hardware for build and test. I have to confess I'm more comfortable suggesting this because I'd never see such ads. :-) Tongue-in-cheek, sort of. Hey, why not, everyone else monetizes everything. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/FK7WMXWNIDZ73ZHSE6LWTXRD4IXNGTFP/
