Advocatus diaboli would say on slashdot, via Matt Asay: "See, Red Hat wants to abuse poor little users for free testing" what would you counter to sth like that?

I'm thinking about fedora-tour now. 05:20:31 <PhrkOnLsh> mchua: hmm :) 05:20:36 <mchua> When you install Fedora from scratch, it prompts you at the end if you want to submit your smolt profile. 05:20:42 <mchua> If you say yes, it automagically ships it off. 05:20:54 <mchua> But what if - in Fedora-tour, or something - by the little "contribute" section, it went a bit further? 05:21:08 <mchua> And said "hey, here are some things we'd love for you to check, and see if they work - try doing X, Y, Z" 05:21:42 <mchua> and then a few minutes later, "congratulations you just submitted your first test case! now go see where it went, and who's going to pick it up from there..." 05:21:52 <rbergeron> oh, that'd be interesting. 05:21:52 <PhrkOnLsh> hmmm 05:21:55 <PhrkOnLsh> yeah 05:21:58 <rbergeron> "follow the open source white rabbit" 05:22:02 <PhrkOnLsh> i like it 05:22:03 <rbergeron> "hopefully down the rabbit hole" 05:22:04 <rbergeron> :) 05:22:23 <mchua> redpill! 05:22:39 <rbergeron> follow the white rabbit, neo 05:22:42 <mchua> (the Matrix, obviously, got the colors mixed up.
