But aren't vacations of this sort an opportunity for volunteers to
spend more time on Fedora exactly because they have more free time
then?
Do people work on Fedora as a job or as a hobby. Do they work during
free time or during business hours like staffed professionals?

Some of the most important questions a volunteer organisation can ask
itself are about the volunteer relationship is how to accommodate the
fact that volunteers can be more productive during leisure hours.
