Red Hat tops list of corporate Linux code contributors
,----[ Quote ]
| Right now, there is a very huge scarcity in developers who know how to do
| this kind of work. Lots and lots of companies are trying madly to train their
| internal engineers on how to work with the community, in this kind of very
| different development model. They are looking for and need people that
| already know how to do this kind of thing. So don't sell yourself short at
| all. Your skills are wanted and needed, so either tell your current employer
| that you need to have the time to do this kind of upstream work, or change to
| a company that knows this already."

The power of Collaborative Innovation

| Let us take Linux as an example. In September 1991, Linus Torvalds released
| 10,000 lines of source code under the General Public License (GPL). The GPL
| gives users four freedoms:
|
| 1. The freedom to run the program, for any purpose
| 2. The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs
| 3. The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor
| 4. The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to
| the public, so that the whole community benefits

Migration to Fedora
,----[ Quote ]
| Every time when user wants to try something different, many unanswered
| questions raised. Is is good? Why should I migrate, I am satisfied from my
| operating system now. Could I lose data on my computer? Is it possible just
| to see that thing and if I like it I would give it a try?
|
| Yes, now it is possible. Take a virtual migration tour with screenshots in
| just a few clicks. Do not try anything until you liked it! When you are
| completely sure about that, then you would migrate on real.
