We've seen these kind of Red Hat half-steps before, and to $SOMEONE's credit, it's a little bit better this time. The turnaround on information has been *much* quicker from WTF!?! to getting informed. And the point of this announcement is to make a foundation that separates Fedora from Red Hat half-steps. Think about not ever having to worry about what secrets The Suits are planning for next quarter! I think the point was to announce the intention of forming the FF with community input. The intention from the beginning is to have an open creation process. The only oops, IMO, was in not sending a pre-announcement announcement to all of Red Hat explaining the current status. The fact that there is no finished product behind the announcement is a *good thing*. The intention from the beginning is to have the work done in the open with community involvement. Think of this more as something Mark Webbink researched and put into his keynote, not realizing the worrisome impact it would have. Don't think anyone meant it to be so surprising, and there sure is scrambling to clear things up. There are some known details, aiui, but I hesitate to over-share them because I believe there is better clarity coming immediately from the current Fedora governing board. My major point here is to ask that this group, the Marketing Project for lack of a better structure to pin it on, be worked with to help disemminate the message *and* facilitate the foundation creation process. I'm volunteering to help, of course. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Tech Writer * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Red Hat SELinux Guide http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/selinux-guide/
