Free and Sponsored Media works - infact it's working better all the 
time.  We're able to fill more and more requests every month.  We're 
bringing on on more Vendors willing to offer their services to help keep 
fulfilment up.

If that's not successful, I'm not sure what is.

The great thing about Open Source is the way people share ideas across 
multiple communities.  But with all the distros I work with the only 
thing that I ever hear about Ubuntu is that they've got lots of users 
and that they are well funded.

I never hear about ground breaking packages that will vault OSS, as a 
whole, forward.

That sort of stuff is coming out of Fedora.

So let's not worry about keeping up with the neighbors and focus on what 
we're doing well.
