“From the ‘We Don’t Really Like You’ files:

“Flame wars are a part of open source development and
communities. A new effort called openrespect.org wants to try and
change the tone of cross-distribution name-calling, but I think
they’ve really gotten off on the wrong foot.

“Openrespect.org is founded by Ubuntu Linux community manager
Jono Bacon, as a way to encourage mutual respect across Linux
distributions. Apparently though that mutual respect didn’t fully
extend to Red Hat’s community Fedora Linux distribution.”
