Hi folks, Weighing in from the Fedora side of things, I am happy to have a conversation about how we could make Fedora Discussion / Discourse a friendlier place for the CentOS community. We are putting a lot of resources into our Discourse infrastructure, and we also have a support contract with upstream to influence features that are desired by a distro developer audience. Plus, I think it makes a lot of practical sense for our communities to be closer together with our communications infrastructure. 😃 Is there anything we can do to help make Fedora Discussion a friendlier place for CentOS?
