Hello Guys!
Read this bad news:
http://www.linuxworld.com.au/index.php/id;1474805050;fp;16;fpid;1
This is happening frequently. I think we will have to revise some things
within the project, particularly the creation of a Legacy project or a
Fedora LTS.
The brazilian government, one of the biggest Fedora Case of the world is
changing from Fedora/ Red Hat to Ubuntu/Debian.
We need to think and create a solution to give support by a long time or
the fedora user will decrease!

I think this is one of the thousands of BIG issues that are affecting
Wikipedia (google the news to see something of them), not a Fedora
one.
Personally I trust more NASA, the Roadrunner (the 1st supercomputer)
and all the professional and home users that are trusting fedora and
all the universe around it.
I personally think it could be a little damage in the Marketing side
(just because Wi*ipedia is a known brand), but I think all the people
around Fedora could stop the proliferation of such "odd" news just
explaining what we are doing and where we are going.
I often see the sentence"Fedora lead, never follow", I think it's a
self explained one and there isn't the necessity to be feared by a
really stupid speculation.
We are the leaders and we are the most innovative/community oriented
project, more than something someone is still calling an
Encyclopaedia.
