linux foundation conference sad face

[Theodore Tso]

Hi all,

I was pointed to this e-mail thread:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2009-February/msg00058.html

... and please accept my apologies for the Linux Foundation not
reaching out to Fedora more.  The intent of the Collaboration Summit
is to include all members of the Linux community; it is true that the
Linux Foundation is an industry consortium --- that *is* how we raise
money to among other things, pay Linus Torvalds' salary --- but we do
try to include all parts of the Linux ecosystem.  However, our
contacts into the various parts of the Linux community aren't
uniformly distributed, for a variety of reasons.  Our Technical
Advisory Board is fairly heavily weighted towards kernel developers,
for example.  (David Jones, the Fedora kernel wrangler, is on LF's
Technical Advisory Board, and I see him socially every so often, given
that he's also based out of Boston area, as I am.)

That being said, I would very much like to try to make this right, if
we can.  If there are people from Fedora who would like to attend,
please register at the LF web site:

   http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/collaboration-summit

... and just indicate why you would like to attend and if there are
any workgroup sessions you are interested in attending.  If there are
specific presentations or workgroups where you are interested in
participating, drop me a note and I can help connect you with the
relevant workgroup chair or person who is organizing a particular
track at the LF Collaboration Summit.

Regards,
