You were at a Free and Open Source Developers Meeting, where I am not surprised there was some excitement around the Lenny release. I didn't see that translate into the "real world" in the way it did with Ubuntu, and I haven't seen many reports of Fedora release parties either. There's a big difference between insular excitement ad a developer conference and "real world" excitement involving users of the software. > In two->three years time, when I expect Squeeze will be released, I for > one will be celebrating the release, and I hope many Ubuntu users will > join me. :) > In the mean time you're welcome at the 4 or more release parties Ubuntu will have between now and then :) It goes both ways.
