I don't see what is wrong with a public discussion.
OK as you wish, marketing list is the wrong place - and a lot of Ambassadors
did not read the marketing list

Something like Fedora - Powered by Red Hat/ Sponsored by Red Hat or some
such.

with the
Ambassadors? They have to deal with that.
We in europe and Contributors all over the world worked hard to have the
Fedora Brand unique, i know that some
people in the project are trying to get more contributions from companies -
like "contribute inhouse builds to EPEL you have it for RHEL with a lot of
benefits". For Fedora this is good - i bed if there are companies wich
build software for RHEL then they know the Fedora Project!
A Double Brand for RedHat maybe it is good for a short term marketing
boost. But RedHat have to pay for this double Brand - not much direct with
money, like "oh you are sponsored by RedHat then you must pay for your
booth" .... Me for my self, i work for the Fedoraproject with all what i
can do and i love the work of RedHat and the RedHat People and i hold some
RedHat Certificates - but i am not a wannabe RedHat Contributor - if the
Project will go in the OpenSuse direction i am sure the Fedora Project will
get maybe more users - but lose Contributors.
Cheers
And yes, RedHat does major work and give much money - but Fedora would not
exist in the way as it is, because of the work and the commitment of all the
free contributors and i know and i feel, i dont want it marked as a RedHat
SubProject. This is wrong!
cheers
