To the Fedora community:

As a way of saying thank you to our community, we are pleased to offer
special discounts to Fedora contributors who register for upcoming Red
Hat training courses.
Thanks for the offer. However, I have a question concerning the
selection criteria.
In short, however, if you are an active Fedora contributore (you have a
@fedoraproject.org email address), you can get up to 20-25% almost any
Red Hat training class.
How does this offer reconcile with this announcement from Mike McGrath on
eliminating those very same email addresses?
See
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2007-April/msg00004.html
I actually prefer not having such an email address, as I use Gmail for
all my
correspondence.
Everybody who is signed up in the Fedora Account system as a contributor
has a alias regardless of whether you are using it. Since it is just a
alias you can continue using your gmail id.
Mike Mcgrath's post was not about eliminating all aliases just the ones
in the firstname.lastname format. You would instead now be using the
accountname@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx format.
Hope that helps.
