Look before you speak

Posted: 2008/07/07 15:18:32

The line is for me and should be working for others too. Couple of weeks back I just asked one of the well known Fedora contributor to go and ask in #fedora instead of asking in #fedora-devel.  He was in shock listening to that. Sometimes I do miss the mappings of IRC nick and real name and this was one such bad time :(

Now trying to indentify first then only speaking :)

Some more thoughts on fedora.co.in

Posted: 2008/06/30 01:08:23

Fedora community is something which I love to work for. Now already debarshi pointed out his opinion. I completely agree on his points. When I brought this point up, my concern was (which is still same) to keep our community’s name clean.

The owner of the domain may think it is very nice to earn money from advertisements  while using the community’s goodwill and name, but it pissed us off.

I wish if I can use free() in the real world.

"Fedora India" == the community

Posted: 2008/06/30 01:01:49

THIS IS AN OLD POST , PUBLISHED NOW

“Fedora India” is not a person , it is the community including all Fedora users and contributors. Today I suddenly figured out that Kulbir Saini is using this in one of his blog. He is GSoC student this year.

We, the contributors from India have certain problems with this. Using the name “Fedora India” will give false impression to the world that this is from the community of India which is actually not. He is also using Fedora logo in his blog. And don’t forget about the google ads.

To add more spice to it here is the declaimer from the site: “Copyright © 2008 Kulbir Saini. I am not related to Red Hat or Fedora Project. The content on this site is my own views.” Now how can be it possible that his blog is in planet Fedora and he is not related to Fedora Project.

As I asked this in the list, his first reply was in personal, so I replied back cc:ed to the list also. It seems he loves to reply personally .

I hope the Fedora community will help us to keep the community name clean.
