The six month thing just sounds like an arbitrary goal that is going to create unfinished releases, this time is was selinux, in the end it fell off the end of the world but in the meanwhile sucked up a lot of effort and maybe made the unfinishedness factor of FC2 worse than it could have been. If a release goes out with serious problems that impacts the people helping on the mailing list too (and the poor search capabilities of the Redhat ml archive doesn't help). I don't see much sign of this "community distro" thing for Fedora either, it is almost fully a Redhat show. Of course with great guys like Alan Cox, Dave Jones, Arjan and all the others that is not a bad situation, but it is not really community driven either. (Of course Redhat pays their wages, they can choose what to do themselves and I am grateful that we get the benefit of whatever they want to do. But Redhat explain they want to "invite and encourage more outside participation", will use a "more open process") "Community Driven" would maybe look like a fat website where registered people voted on packages, voted when to freeze features, and when to release... although selinux is sexy maybe such a thing would have deferred it earlier... I don't think the Redhat folks should be "slaves to the majority" either, but... - -Andy - -- Automatic actions for USB cameras, cardreaders, memory sticks, MP3 players http://warmcat.com/usbautocam -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAxE4HjKeDCxMJCTIRAriDAJ9Tf5GYwOI2T6ZThI+jSDo8H1XYWACfVMfx oVOOJIQfeSHTWztnDfSSobg= =A0qm -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
