How to compete against Ubuntu

[H. Guémar]

I agree with Chitlesh, we should not start a "distro war" neither ignoring
people and doing our stuff apart.
Our goal is not to get the biggest user base (well, that doesn't mean
getting a smaller user base too ;-) ) but to push forward the free software
thing and open contents.
We should find new ways to advertize Fedora Project for the following
reasons:
* explain what Fedora Project is and aims at.
Our goal is not to overthrow Microsoft or anyone else, but to open up the
space for free software and open contents.
* share our vision of free software. People still does not understand why
Fedora/Linux does not provide proprietary drivers or patented stuff.
* welcome new members (and not users) in our community.
* help our projects to succeed.
That would suck if something as useful for everyone such as Smolt failed
because people are unaware of it or misunderstood Fedora Project.
* to give back Fedora Project what is Fedora Project.

About fanboys, just ignore them or you'll end up having an ulcer. ;-)
