Robyn Bergeron Stepping Down As Fedora Project Leader
darthcamaro writes: "Red Hat's Fedora Linux Project Leader, Robyn Bergeron, has announced that she is leaving her role. Bergeron became Fedora Project Leader in February of 2012 and has presided over one of the busiest periods for Fedora ever. Fedora is now moving to a new model for Fedora 21, with separate desktop, cloud and server products. 'The community has now gotten to the point where it's not a one-size-fits-all product anymore,' Bergeron said."
"If we're going to be able to do three products just as well as we do one currently, without our tripling our QA [quality assurance] or release engineering workforce, we really have to figure out how to automate more stuff," Bergeron said
Does RedHat plan on hiring that many people, or is that why she is leaving?
"First they came for the slanderers and i said nothing."
" 'The community has now gotten to the point where it's not a one-size-fits-all product anymore,' Bergeron said."
Why yes, it has. That's why there is (checks the figures) oh right A HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN DIFFERENT LINUX DISTRIBUTIONS.
Red Hat fulfills a niche. Were I this Bergeron dude, I'd not press my luck and try dividing that into three. But what do I know.
"If we're going to be able to do three products . . ."
Three products? Why not five?
Lol, fedora as a server
How long before the sexual harassment claims?
I think all this mucking about with this version, that version is causing more trouble than it's worth. First Ubuntu does the Baskin Robbins flavour thing with Desktop, Cloud, Server, you name it. Now Fedora. Really? What gives. I already think Linux is too balkanised for it's own good. In the last few years I've honestly been leaning more and more towards OpenBSD for their focus, minimalism, and absolute best wireless support of almost any *nix platform. After almost 20 years of Linux, I'm seriosly considering moving to BSD for the sanity. Fedora is doing nothing by copying the rest of the multi-flavour distros. No real need for this.
Must be sexism. You know, the "male dominated IT world" must sexually harass her every day.
CAPTCHA - BROADen, lol
Fedora makes sense for a computer geek's desktop, if that geek wants to play with the cutting edge. For web hosting, not so much. Centos makes more sense if you want it to just work, and keep working. Consider the support lifetime for Fedora.
Some people DO use Fedora on a web server. Since people write software in PHP 4 too - that doesn't mean it's a good idea.
Since the i* think it's sound to:
1) enable sshd
2) let sshd listen to traffic from everywhere
3) allow root logins over ssh
4) (using password)
by default I think this is a good change.
Now where that should still remain the default? ..
Hopefully definitely not on desktop at least. But who knows?
...good riddance, ya stupid cunt.
The absurd release frequency, the unnecessary changes, and the bad quality forced me to air-gap my system and freeze it in an ancient version in order to keep it running (or, better said, in order to reduce the risk of it breaking down). I stopped recommending fedora ages ago. Now that that system fulfilled its original purpose, it will be repurposed and updated with something different, probably CentOS or Mint.

Robyn Bergeron should be held responsible for being in charge of Fedora getting ruined. The past few versions have been atrocities - unstable, broken messes. Fedora is so unusable now that if I built another computer, I would switch to a different distribution. I think we need to have sympathy for her victims.
I'm not just talking about Gnome 3 and other abominations. I mean, I recently used Fed Up to upgrade a box, and it trashed the RPM database beyond any means of repair. I had to reformat and start over with a fresh install. Fedora has gone from a usable if quirky distro to a disaster in progress. I basically will never upgrade a box to a new Fedora release from now on. I would install a new Fedora on a new box (but would probably switch to a different distro first), but never upgrade a working machine.
So I don't care of Robyn jumps off a cliff.
Unless by "community" you mean Red Hat developers.
was she eleven feet tall with the hands of a lumberjack?
It is what it is.
Certainly, if you want to develop next year's version of your software on next year's version of RHEL, Fedora is appropriate. I even deployed Fedora to production once when the application absolutely had to have a new subsystem that wasn't yet available in CentOS (not without compiling and replacing a bunch of stuff).
Okay, so actually I'v done it more than once. First I did it not knowing any better, than when that bit me I did it one more time when I didn't have much choice.
support when I google for a problem. It's so frustrating!
Er...no and no? That wasn't a question about her reason for leaving, it was just a general question about Fedora's future.
Doe this mean he's hanging up his hat?
