i think the better way would be to explain what relevance FEL has, to David.
Thanks for the catch, David - and for the edit, Paul. Copying the
Marketing list on this.
The Talking Points that the Marketing team produces for our release
deliverables are talking points for the Desktop (GNOME) Spin.
while some the arguments for spins maybe are valid and the work on the spins
pages is absolut great, i do not think that marketing has understand the
relevance of fel - this is not just a spin, it is something really unique in
Fedora - no other Distribution has something mature like this related to
electronics. Chitlesh and the fel gang could go the easy way by just making a
remix with strange licences - but they work hard with the electronics
industrie to convince them to change licences to have it in fel or even become
contributors. It has also Ambassador Relevance - i could hire some of the most
brilliant contributors through fel, they came as normal software-, computer
enthusiasts and were more than happy i introduced fel to them - so i suggest
put it back - this has general relevance in some parts of the world!
