Anyway, I'm working on my presentation and looking through the
ambassador's resources I found Rahul's very illustrative and filled with
a lot of helpful information [2], although it does not contain the most
recent one. Can anyone help me find the updated numbers? Other useful
information will be appreciated also.
I will post an update.
My second point its a little more complicated since it implies
philosophical issues. Mr Stallman explains in his publications that it
is not exact to use the word "linux" to refer to an OS or a particular
distro since Linux is only the kernel and the rest of the OS is somehow
derived from its original work (bash, editor, compilers, etc). [3]
Question: Do we at Fedora share and honor this principle? Shall we
refer to our and other distros as GNU/Linux as he suggests?
Feel free to use it. We officially call it just Fedora and we explain it
as a Linux based operating system as you can see in
http://fedoraproject.org
I saw the words "open source" a lot along many Fedora
presentations, but
my doubts still remain. Do we have any policy regarding Open Source
and/or Free Software? It is going to be hard to me to debate about
freedom against RMS so I would prefer only to talk about our project,
but stating clearly what we stand for.
In the main documents and webpages, we have traditionally preferred to
use free and open source or FOSS as a term to encompass both movements.
