These are questions I'm interested in answers on. However, I'm also
worried about how much the "cloud" was mentioned in the presser. It
makes me nervous about Red Hat's investment into other areas, which a
lot of the Linux ecosystem relies on, even outside of the Fedora
community. Desktop Linux, traditional server platforms, IoT, etc. look
like areas that might be disinvested in. :(


Gnome, LibreOffice, PulseAudio, Pipeware .... and a really long list available here:


I really like the RedHat way about open source (https://www.redhat.com/es/open-source/red-hat-way) many of those projects are lucrative, but many others are not so, Redhat have been profitable even investing a lot in many open source projects, so **MAYBE** IBM will make not many changes in the short or midle term, but if they want a higher return over investment they can see a way to cut expenses by reducing contributions to areas that they do not focus.

Fedora is the upstream of RHEL, I do not see IBM killing RHEL just because is the heart of RedHat bussines model, a there are a lot of things IBM can do on top of the RHEL base, and if you want to keep RHEL solid you need a strong base in the Fedora Project, I am really curios about IBM position about the Community around Fedora (**we** the people that do some stuff in Fedora without any direct RH income), I do not see IBM killing the Fedora Community just because they need to keep the development of the Linux ecosystem to keep RHEL strong, maybe we can see a lot more bureaucracy, we can maybe less budget for events, but I do thing that the Fedora Project will continue and I hope it will kepp being a awesome community to be part of it.

We have F29 out now and can be happy about it.
