It's really going to be very hard if we still continue to measure our success on popularity in Developer community. Although it is a good thing to be accepted by Developers, the true measure of success is the acceptance by the user community in which, I am sorry to say, Ubuntu beats Fedora hands down. Coincidentally, I just blogged about this yesterday.

 

 

We have to come up with ways to make sure that Linux in general and specifically Fedora becomes the OS of choice. It's a large market out there and we can make it if we get our priorities right.

 

regards,

Mukul
