Fedora more successful, developer-wise, than Ubuntu

[Mukul Dharwadkar]

It's really going to be very hard if we still continue to measure our
success on popularity in Developer community. Although it is a good thing to
be accepted by Developers, the true measure of success is the acceptance by
the user community in which, I am sorry to say, Ubuntu beats Fedora hands
down. Coincidentally, I just blogged about this yesterday.

We have to come up with ways to make sure that Linux in general and
specifically Fedora becomes the OS of choice. It's a large market out there
and we can make it if we get our priorities right.

regards,
Mukul
