Hi Max,

I found this under the tree yesterday and couldn't put it down today.
Hardly a page went by without finding myself thinking about how this
applies to Fedora, Red Hat, and the organization I spend my days
working for.

I imagine you have spent some time thinking about how these ideas are
expressed in both Fedora and Red Hat individually and perhaps in a
sense combined as well. I'm really very curious about how you view the
Fedora project within this framework? In particular, do you view
Fedora as a hybrid organization?

Whether you care to answer those questions or not thank you very much
for recommending this thought provoking, entertaining book. And by all
means feel free to recommend others.

John
