Hi Giannis and all the others, Thanks for yours contribution. I know that I have exaggerated on the title and on what I have writed. I understand your position and I think the marketing team have made a good work. But I believe that we need a little more to make difference.
More marketing strategies are needed. I see marketing as a little "war". This is nothing about flame or by disapproving what good the marketing team have made. I like the same core values that you like of Fedora. But more people need to know this and spread the word.
