One of the reason why I quit Fedora.

[Joel Bryan Juliano]

On October 2004, I posted to the Fedora mailing-list
Desktop Development
Specialization<http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-beta-list/2004-October/msg00829.html>

What if Fedora Core development was divided in two divisions, the
> GNOME division and the KDE division, the releases will be available to

and by shaking the tradition, I get negative response from the fedora folks.

Before, i foresee that specializing desktop was one of the solutions for the
overgrowing complexities that a user will face when trying to use Linux for
desktop. And I'm really happy these things happening in Ubuntu. I thank the
Ubuntu guys for being friendly and open-minded for new ideas, in Ubuntu, you
will really feel the love and the kindness of people, you will see alot of
people really participating and willing to participate, you will see people
that will support your ideas. In RedHat, you don't see Szulik talking to
some guy posting a fantastic idea, but in Ubuntu, you'll see Mark talking to
you personally, motivating and supporting your idea. This is not the battle
of Microsoft vs. Linux anymore, even Linux wins, the only thing I can
remember is the great guys in Ubuntu, that made all of those things happen.
This is open source, and this is what it really all about.

Regards,
Joel
