An interview with Fedora leader Max SpevackAn interview with Fedora leader Max SpevackPosted Jun 14, 2007 2:58 UTC (Thu) by vmlinuz (subscriber, #24)Parent article: An interview with Fedora leader Max Spevack
Yup, top-notch interview. I'm not really a Fedora sort of person, I think - I'm a long-term Slackware user, currently leaning towards Gentoo - but it is good to see that someone apparently sane and principled is doing what is a very important job.
One thing I'd like to confirm - I'd guess the answer is yes, but I'd like to know for sure. Is Max @redhat.com? If so, and leaving the "RH drops Fedora on the floor" scenario to one side, would it make sense to imagine a future project leader being @fedoraproject.org but not @redhat.com?

An interview with Fedora leader Max Spevack Posted Jun 14, 2007 12:32 UTC (Thu) by louie (subscriber, #3285) [Link] Max is @redhat.com. (Disclosure: I am temporarily @redhat.com as well.) My sense is that the job is a full-time job, so unless fedora develops alternative revenue sources, it will always be @redhat.com or effectively @redhat.com- one couldn't do the job effectively as a volunteer.

If the best person already works for Red Hat, ok. If the best person doesn't, then Red Hat should make them an offer and hire them. But by all means, look externally for the candidate. Just hire the person once he/she is identified! It's the only way to *guarantee* consistent leadership, handle all the budget stuff, legal stuff, etc.
