I don't want to hijack the thread, but if you compare the investments
made into Fedora and the commitment to the community of Red Hat in 2005
and Red Hat in 2008, what questions do you have about Red Hat being
serious about Fedora?
Our daily operational budget has been multiplied about five or six fold
(community architecture + fedora infrastructure budget) compared to when
I started as the FPL.
Furthermore, the number of full-time employees working directly on
Fedora has increased significantly over the past 2-3 years, with
basically every single hire coming from the Fedora community, and
expanded roles being created from within Red Hat (like Spot's new job,
for example, as Fedora Engineering Manager).
Maybe it doesn't look like it from the outside, but Fedora has gotten a
huge amount of investment, comparatively, over the past few years, and
that investment continues.
What else would you like to see from Red Hat to prove that it takes
Fedora and community seriously? I'm not trolling, I really want to
konw, so that I can work on making it happen.
