<div dir="ltr">I agree with Maria and Matthew - it's with Fedora, and Fedora itself has no budget since it's a community-based distribution, similar to the budget for Debian. She seems to be confusing Red Hat with Fedora here, probably because the position was posted by employees of Red Hat - but looking at the tweet it clearly states "The @fedora community is looking for a Diversity & Inclusion Advisor", so I'm not sure where the confusion sits.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><font size="4" face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif"><br><a href="http://about.me/spencerhunley" target="_blank">Spencer Hunley</a></font><div><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif" size="4" color="#444444">(816) 866-0847</font></div><div><font size="4"><br></font></div></div></div></div>

</span>My response would be something like:<br>
<br>
Fedora is a community project and does not have a budget for _any_<br>
positions. Red Hat sponsors some people to work on Fedora, but this is<br>
a community initiative and we didn't want to wait on the possibility of<br>
finding sponsorship. I recognize that it severely limits the pool of<br>
people able to help, but that seemed better than no such thing at all.<br>
Many of us who work for Red Hat are working on diversity from a company<br>
perspective as well, but that's not directly related, and again, we<br>
didn't want to block on that.<br>
<br>
That's pretty long for a tweet, though. :)<br>
