One small point that I wanted to make for all ambassadors was the importance of finding the positive points when answering a question. In particular, the interviewer asked about user experience and whether Fedora was more focused on upstream code. Certainly we're not driven to patch upstream code extensively to promote a specific user experience *over* the upstream. But when answering a question like this, it's important to remember that many Fedora contributors are active contributors to GNOME, KDE, and other upstreams like NetworkManager, PackageKit, X.org, and many more projects that are directly responsible for the Linux user experience. In fact, the work done upstream in these cases is much more directly responsible for Linux usability than any one distribution. That having been said, great job Jeroen! -- Paul W.
