So I'd like to see I hear understand this point of view, but would like to counterbalance it. (Speaking here as a Fedoraean, not a Red Hatter, although I am that too.) Fedora is particularly interesting to some people *because* of our relationship with Red Hat, and that's a very nice thing for us. Both Fedora and Red Hat take huge benefits from that mutual, bidirectional connection -- *as do users of both operating systems*. There is a very real risk of Fedora being a self-referential toy operating system no one really uses (where "no one" excepts a few strange people like me who have been running it as my sole OS for years). Instead, we should emphasize and take advantage of our ecosystem -- Fedora, RHEL, EPEL, CentOS/Scientific Linux, the whole shebang. Each part makes the whole thing stronger. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- marketing mailing list marketing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
