Karsten reported, in response to someone else's thread inside Red Hat: ''' In terms of Moblin, right when you (and Paul and ...) hit us with the Reg article, Dirk Hohndel was giving a 'chalk talk' about Moblin. Greg DeKoenigsberg, John Poelstra, and myself went to hear and get involved in the Q&A. In response to Greg's question ("What can I do for you?" handing him his business card), and the audience question about why switching from Ubuntu to Fedora, Dirk's responses were: * They already interface with Dave Jones and have for some time; Dirk feels that is a solid and legitimate way to interface, as he considers them downstream and need to push any changes back up in our direction and in other upstreams. * They switched to Fedora because they want to use RPMs ... so they can build in OpenSUSE's Open Build System. Greg took more careful mental notes than I did about the specifics, but Dirk had some functionality that, "Sorry, Koji does not have." * He didn't seem to be interested in Moblin as a feature of Fedora, per se. He's happy to work as a downstream entirely. ''' -- Paul W.
