Revision as of 14:01, 30 August 2018

There are many incredible Fedora contributors who help add their own unique spin to the work that happens in the Fedora community every day. IRC, mailing lists, and other mediums are common utilities of discussion in the Project. Sometimes it's easy for people to say something profound or meaningful, but have it be lost in the scrollback history or buried in a mailing list discussion. This page serves to highlight some of my favorite quotes made by others in the Fedora community or sometimes from the greater Linux community. I have roughly attempted to organize them by type of quote, then organized alphabetically by the contributor's FAS username or other identifying information.

                      in robot voice instead of yelling.
[12:35:58] <jwb> ooh, i like that
[12:36:52] <sgallagh> Yeah, it's amazing how much less stressful IRC becomes
