The level of contribution to upstream projects matters! Let's see if the take the next step and use their editorial soapboxes to start being critical of companies who aren't contributing back to the projects they depend on. A spotlight on companies who are benefiting from the work of open source projects but aren't support those very same projects would be a gloriously wonderful thing to see. I would almost call that the birth of a completely new type of laypress..a laypress dedicated to protecting the long term interests of the open ecosystem. That would be a laypress I could get behind. Want to take any bets on which person in the press picks on this information as it relates to Shuttleworth's call on upstream project to sync release schedules to match Canonical's needs and does an unscientific inquiry as to exactly how much upstream involvement Canonical is actually providing to a number of important projects which Canonical relies on heavily. I think that would be a fascinating article to read.... it would even border on legitimate investigative journalism. -jef -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
