I must also include, I was already put-off by asking why we had Fedora Ambassadors spying on Mandriva install parties on this list.
I don't know what is or isn't the job, idealogy or focus of Ambassadors but I can say personally that isn't how things work around my house. Spying on other projects install parties to better yourself is exactly what it was, whether you want to take it in that context or not.
In any case I had shown the mails to a few people and they were less than impressed. I think the ambassadors need to stop with the tunnel vision and try to think about priorities. As an Ambassador I would think it is in your focus to promote Fedora Core, end of story.
If it was spying, they'd be wearing black clothes and jumping in through the ceiling :)
But seriously, an ambassador went along to an install party to see "how they did it", so that Fedora ones can take any good ideas from it.
No harm in that, is there?

I go to install fest whenever I can; I personally invite the other distros to the party. We are all open source geeks; the idea is to share the technology even between distros. If you want to keep your technology to yourself and only for your community, I suggest you read the GPL. And, if you still disagree with that statement, you can always find a home with Bill. We are all in this together, do not forget the big picture. As for spying, I am a SuSE, FreeBSD, and JavaOS developer therefore, I must be a triple agent?
