I presume that it is the fact that a lot of the core maintainers of GNOME are Red Hat employees. From what I understand of Red Hat culture, that doesn't really mean much. I was having drinks with a person who used to work at a company who got bought out by Red Hat. I believe it was Cygnus. The biggest culture shock they had was the fact that Red Hat employees regularly flamed each other on a number of mailing lists and often quite gleefully. I'm not sure Red Hat is the picture of corporate toe the line that you generally see at other places. I think in general, FOSS people do tend to be an ornery crowd. :-) If there is an issue though with voices not being heard then that should be addressed. sri _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
