'''[17:11] <stickster> I started with Documentation around 2003. Somewhere I have the link to my first message there, which I think was in November 2003.'''

[17:12] <ctyler> As the Fedora Project Leader, what are your responsibilities?

'''[17:13] <stickster> I also chair the Fedora Project Board (or just "Fedora Board"), which is the topmost body of governance in the Fedora Project.'''

[17:14] <ctyler> Pefect segue to the next question -- You work for Red Hat, but spend all of your time working on Fedora. What is the relationship between the two entities?

'''[17:18] <stickster> That includes engineers inside Red Hat, who probably make up about 1/4 - 1/3 of the total number. The rest are interested volunteers.'''

[17:18] <ctyler> What does it mean to work "in" a community? How is working in Open Source different from the rest of the computing industry?

[17:31] <ctyler> I'd like to (cautiously) open this up for questions. So that we don't overlap too many threads, I suggest that if you want to ask a question you type "/me ?" and I'll queue up the names. If you have a comment on the current question, go ahead and type :-)

[17:31] * scarter4 was wondering if fedora is upstream from red hat, or if red hat is upstream from fedora. Historically Red Hat came first, but fedora seems to be upstream from red hat... how does that work?
