Hi,

Somewhat, a long article but worth a read

"A less stressful but still demanding background issue is the rapid 
growth of the community. According to Frields, membership in the Fedora 
community has gone from under 2000 to over 15,000 in the last year. 
Frields attributes this growth to a number of factors, including the 
effort under his leadership to make the steps in becoming part of the 
community easier; the doubling in size of the ambassador program, 
Fedora's grass roots evangelism effort; Fedora's emphasis on good 
relations with the upstream community (that is, the individual projects 
that go into a distribution), and the realization by business that 
Fedora is the place to see the content of upcoming releases of Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux. "
