npub1gl5fk77u2zr6p034k4zyvmgy3uwx8gaxr8e4w44y2n7cthx7y3nslj7hk0 (npub1gl5…7hk0) I've been reflecting today on a relatively short memo I wrote a bit over 20 years ago, describing why it was essential to Red Hat's long term success to build a community-driven Linux distribution, and what its essential characteristics would have to be, months before Warren so kindly agreed to let us use the #Fedora name he had used for his repository for extra packages for Red Hat Linux.

I've written many, many more words in my life, but probably none that have changed more lives.

I believe to this day that Red Hat Enterprise Linux without Fedora would have been a niche product.
