= Questions/Requested Information

  1. What is your proposal? A short discussion of the IBM acquisition of Red Hat and its possible affects upon Fedora

Be specific about what you want to accomplish, how this helps the project and
the attendees. Review the CFP call (https://flocktofedora.org/#cfp) for details
on what we are looking for.
This talk will recapitulate the public information available on the IBM acquisition of Red Hat. There have been many public statements by executives from both IBM and Red Hat that present their view of the post-acquisition future. Using that, we will speculate on possible Fedora impact.
The result will hopefully be a good question and answer session in which Fedora contributors leave reassured if there is any concern about Fedora's future.
2. Who in addition to the speaker needs to be in the room for this to succeed? This could be the audience you need to reach, other participants in the conversation, or other stakeholders.
