I know what is Fedora and I understand the GOAL of the project, i'm here
since 2005.

But i disagree with some points! We can't only think in: "developping /
building / creating / innovating / revolutionning"

It's great for others distros like Red Hat EL and Centos, but for
Fedora, no!

Thinking in this way, we are working to improve other distros.

In Brazil, the base of Red Hat users is Fedora users in the past.

If the companies use Ubuntu, they will use Debian on Servers in the future.

It's happening here and is VERY bad for Fedora and Red Hat. SERPRO is
migrating from Fedora to Ubuntu and canceling contracts with Red hat to
put Debian in your servers, so, less $ to red hat less $ to Fedora
Project.

Fedora i loosing space, users, opportunities and contributors!

Who contribute with a project, want to see you contributions being used
in companies, schools, governments...
