Yeah, man, it was horrible when Red Hat hired me to work on Fedora full time, I'm sure I lost my independence right away, but I sure have (mostly) enjoyed it. :) As far as I can tell the clause in the Red Hat business ethics document still applies: "Participation in an open source community project, whether maintained by the Company or by another commercial or non-commercial entity or organization, does not constitute a conflict of interest even where you may make a determination in the interest of the project that is adverse to the Company’s interests." > Also, for project such as Pagure, I don't think we benefit enough from > programs such as GSoC.
