I'm going to have to thumb through it again the next time I'm in Raleigh
before I can say anything too intelligent, but my gut tells me that
Fedora is definitely a hybrid-like organization.
We try to push authority, accountability, and decision-making as far to
the edges as possible, but there is still a bit of a hierarchy in terms
of committees, and in some cases the people who are paid by RH to work
on Fedora full time -- I think Fedora Infrastructure is the perfect
hybrid example. Everyone is a leader and a doer, but Mike McGrath holds
a "first among equals" kind of a role.
It's been a long time since I flipped through this book and chatted
about it w/ Greg. I might be getting terms wrong. I'll refresh my
memory when I'm in Raleigh in January.
I'm glad people are enjoying the book though!
