Therefore let me try to elaborate: Like all other OSS projects, Fedora is based on users', developers' and sponsoring/financing organs' opinions and objectives are sufficiently intersecting. These parties own genuine interests are irrelevant to the other parties. E.g. to users and developers it's irrelevant what RH, the FF or FESCO wants. The only point that matters to them is that the project's products (eg. distribution, buildsys, etc.) sufficiently caters/serves their needs. I.e. whatever RH, FF or FESCO do, and which persons or organizations are involved, is their business. May they establish as many marketing events as they like, may they be a foundation or an enterprize, or ... Neither do they control users/developers nor does the user/developer community control them, nor do they control my mind - It's users and developers who are using YOU, and it's up to YOU to make Fedora attractive to them. Steps into this directions would be to improve your communication, to listen to the community and ... WHAT you actually do is less important, the questions are "WHY" and "HOW". Ralf
