Hello, I tend to agree with Jeroen van Meeuwen's words. However even some Ubuntu evangelists don't understand this. Take for example, during the last European events, Fedora was open for talks with Centos and OpenSuse and do have good relations with them. In the upcoming events, I'm sure it will still be like that. As for fedora marketing, many consider fedora as a distribution like others and tend to ignore * what fedora project really is * what are the goals of fedora project * and what it produces and what are the products. Fedora has some beauties inside that aren't well publicized, e.g Fedora Directory Server, Xen, OLPC, aiglx, Fedora Artwork (whose status is just getting better and better), the idea behind smolt, revisor, a community, TRANSPARENCY (does anyone else have it, without internal fights?? ) ... the list goes on !!! All these to say, that if you really understand the Fedora Project, you will see there is no other reasons to compete directly with other distributions. I like the idea of spreading the word about fedora in the daily life of all humans. Because I personally don't like windows users to consider ubuntu = linux, as that would underrate fedora contributors' contribution. But direct competition (which is good or which is bad) isn't the right way. regards, Chitlesh -- http://clunixchit.blogspot.com -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
