Well Red Hat is also very good at inventing Fedora positions and 
planting people in the more often then not outside the community thou 
the corporate has been getting better at recruiting community members to 
fill those positions. Which certainly is good for the community member 
who gets to fill that position but arguably not so much for the project 
or the community in whole which depends on the position and the relevant 
corporate interest behind it.

Arguably for each of these paid corporate positions within the project 
they should be presided with <corporate><position> and or <team>.

So "Fedora_Engineering" would become "Red Hat's Fedora Engineering" and 
let's for example say that Intel had a people working within the project 
it would be called "Intel's Fedora Engineering" and all of this listed 
under Fedora Engineering page in our wiki.

Of course listing non paid community members first since their 
contribution is more valuable then those that are doing this as a part 
of their $dayjob =)
