So, if someone said "I'm a Linux developer", you'd immediately know that the person: a) wrote some code present in linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2 b) wrote some code for your favorite application c) maintains a package in your favorite distro d) helps translate your favorite desktop mgmt system e) writes scripts in your favorite scripting language f) two or more of the above FTR, I do realize that some of the ambiguities above stem from often-inflated meanings for "developer", but even if you disregard this detail you'll still realize there's a communication failure because of the often-inflated meaning for "Linux". -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} FSFLA Board Member ¡Sé Libre! => http://www.fsfla.org/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
