Let me, err, relay how things are looking from outside of RH in the format everyone will understand... --- BEGIN IRC LOG --- We are announcing Red Hat Project! A community-based distribution! rh_pr: Neat. rh_pr: Uh... I'm not ready. * rh_pr is away: promoting rhel rh_dev: what do we do? oss_crowd: I'm not sure. rh_dev: don't do anything until I say it's ok. rh_dev: what can we do to help with Red Hat Project? oss_crowd: uh... file bugs and help test things. rh_dev: didn't we always do that? hey, all, if you really want a stable system, don't use fedora project. It will eat your brane. Buy RHEL instead. rh_sales: stfu --- rh_pr removes voice from rh_sales hey, all, check out our neat community-driven system for red hat development fedora_us: ooooh! fedora_us: I like your name --- fedora_rh joined the channel much better We are announcing Fedora Project! A community-driven distribution! rh_pr: Neat! * fedora_rh waves I'm not dead yet. fedora_us: don't confuse things. fedora_rh: does this mean we're merging? fedora_us: maybe fedora_rh: don't do anything until I say it's ok. --- fedora_us joined #limbo fedora_rh: so, what can we do to help? oss_crowd: uh... file bugs and help test things. sigh... didn't we always do that? oss_crowd: I know, let's all go in the circle and say our names. * oss_crowd goes in the circle and says their names. This lasts several months. So, there will be the following features in the next release of Fedora Core. Uh... Hold on. Who gets to decide? We do. That stuff will be neato for RHEL-4. MMkay, then. When do _we_ get to suggest things? oss_crowd: feel free to talk among yourselves. * oss_crowd talks among themselves about new features. btw, feature X will be disabled in the release. * oss_crowd glares at fedora_rh fedora_rh: nice of you to tell us while we were sitting here talking. oss_crowd: sorry, it's just not happening. rh_dev: when do we get to decide what's happening? oss_crowd: Dunno, I'll ask rh_legal rh_dev: ugh, /msg me rh_dev: let's not do anything rash here. * fedora_us gets tired of sitting in #limbo fedora_rh: I want to see more of the "community" part of the whole "community-based" thing rh_dev: how about at least a publicly accessible CVS/SVN tree? oss_crowd: Yeah, that would be cool. rh_dev: finally, some movement. When is that going to be up? * rh_dev is away: talking to rh_legal * oss_crowd tries to occupy themselves and do things like fedoranews and fedorapeople. Uh... ping? oss_crowd: what's up? fedora_rh: We're feeling kinda useless. What exactly is our role, again? oss_crowd: well, it would be really helpful if you could test some things and file the bugs. fedora_rh: ugh. We ALWAYS did that. * oss_crowd begins to wonder what exactly is the purpose of fedora_rh oss_crowd: it's the open-development, proving-grounds for new technology component of Red Hat, as opposed to RHEL. Told ya it'll eat your brane. --- rh_pr kicks rh_sales from the channel (you're a dolt) fedora_rh: so, let me get this straight. Effectively, you want us to download the packages you release, test things, file bugs, and submit patches. oss_crowd: Sure, why not? ...but when it comes to things like features, direction of the project, and which software to include in the distribution, it's the decision of Red Hat? * fedora_rh is away: I AM RH I'm still not dead. fedora_rh: How is that different from how things were before the whole "publicly-supported distribution" thing? rh_dev: where is that long-promised public CVS/SVN repo? dunno, talk to fedora_rh oss_crowd: look, such things don't happen in a week, ok? IT'S BEEN A YEAR! --- rh_sales joined the channel EAT YOUR BRAAAAAANE. /mode +b rh_sales --- You're not ops in here. figures --- END IRC LOG --- Cheers, -- Konstantin ("Icon") Ryabitsev Duke Physics Systems Admin, RHCE I am looking for a job in Canada! http://linux.duke.edu/~icon/cajob.ptml Attachment: signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature _________________________________________________________________ * Follow-Ups: + Re: fedora core 3 goals. o From: alan + Re: fedora core 3 goals. o From: Thomas Vander Stichele + Re: fedora core 3 goals. o From: Doug Stewart * References: + fedora core 3 goals. o From: seth vidal + Re: fedora core 3 goals. o From: Richard Li + Re: fedora core 3 goals. o From: seth vidal + Re: fedora core 3 goals. o From: Cristian Gafton + Re: fedora core 3 goals. o From: Mike Chambers [Date Prev][Date Next] [Thread Prev][Thread Next] [Thread Index] [Date Index] [Author Index] Copyright © 2004 Red Hat, Inc.
