is Novell our best practice?
The only thing I wanted to point out is that Novell is definitely
spending more money than they earn. Which includes Marketing. Which
includes all kinds of Community support.
I think we are different, but the symbiosis of Fedora and RHT is due
to some bottlenecks in EMEA at the very moment very exhausting.
I really don't know what you mean here. What bottlenecks are you
referring to? And it sounds as if you extend the discussion to a wider
field than before?
Beware RHT, once the contributors are upset, they might consider a
strike? Or leave the project?
@Matthias; What would RHT do if EMEA strikes for 2 release cycles?
I really don't know what you mean by "EMEA striking for 2 release cycles
...".
@Christoph; What do you think, how many blockings and dead ends are
acceptable until you would leave the project?
The discussion is going into a wrong direction. As others already
pointed out. The Fedora Ambassador project has a decent budget which was
(still is) not even totally used. So, if there are ideas how to spend it
more effective and lasting, I am sure that the FAmSCO and its budget
manager consider every constructive contribution.
