</div>You're welcome to email me directly, which is one option! :-)<br></blockquote><div><br>I can do this, but I'd prefer to discuss this openly. IMO, and in that of other persons I believe, Red Hat/Fedora is facing a management problem which has to do with how updates to the final stable release should be handled.<br>
<br>On the one side, there is your vision, and that of Red Hat. On the other, this one:<br><br><<a href="http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/advisory-board/2010-March/008216.html">http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/advisory-board/2010-March/008216.html</a>><br>

I personaly think you were doing a fine job... in the circumstances.<br></div></div><br>I've written a case study about how Ubuntu is run and how Red Hat is/should, IMO, be run. >From a non-geek like me, it might seem pretentious. It's nonetheless my opinion. For now, it's only a draft, but I should be able to finalize it in a day or two.<br>
<br>As I already observed here, Ubuntu, Google, Intel/Nokia are newcomers on the free/open source scene and, if Red Hat is to keep up, even though it's presently doing quite well, some important changes are needed. Red Hat/Fedora will have to provide *very* stable final releases AND keep developers happy.<br>
