Thanks. I've tried not to make a much dense article and supply relevant
information. Used some pointers/links to much more deeper information.

Also tried to establish a different approach with the interview. As
spoken previously on this list getting people to enroll with Fedora is
always a challenge. Tried to get another view. Also pointing "community
icons" like than and having their own experience about what they do best
(maybe not), coding good software.

I believe that focusing the bugs/bug reports was also important, as like
Dan mentioned, good bug reports are a huge benefit for their work.

The first one is always the hardest, and that went through 4 or 5 times
from scratch. I happy it is in the scope of the proposed work and that
it is useful.

Thanks for editing and polishing.
