In my opinion we do (at least in the US) a poor job of this.

The Fedora Project is a collection of projects sponsored by Red Hat (http://redhat.com) and developed as a partnership between the open source community and Red Hat engineers. The goal of Fedora is the rapid progress of free and open source software and content. Public forums. Open processes. Rapid innovation. Meritocracy and transparency. All in pursuit of the best operating system and platform that free software (http://www.fsf.org/licensing/essays/free-sw.html) can provide. > 3) How do we know our ambassadors are sending a consistent message?

While I don't speak for anyone other than myself when I say this - I'd say that RH sponsors Fedora - is heavily involved in development occurring under the Fedora umbrella. > 5) When someone asks about Fedora's relationship with RHEL what do we say? Fedora is heavily linked - I would say Beta version - because the two are really different. But even in officially sanctioned items we acknowledge that Fedora is at least the proving ground for RHEL. > > I'm sure I could come up with a whole list of questions but you get the > idea.
