Okay ... am I the only developer who is getting tired with the excuses we've |
| 11 |
been reading tonight in the meeting about why we *still* don't have a Gentoo |
| 12 |
NFP? Especially in a channel where Gentoo devs had no voice? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Oh yeah - and I suppose I should feel offended with Daniel saying that we |
| 15 |
shouldn't be adding value. We've spent many months working on taking the |
| 16 |
webapps stuff to a level that *no* other distribution is on ... but somehow I |
| 17 |
just can't work up the energy for that one right now. Daniel - do you want |
| 18 |
us to stop work on GLEP #11, or do you support it? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Whether Daniel's idea of a co-op or two to raise funds will help speed up my |
| 21 |
webapps work or not I just don't know ... personally, I already have a full |
| 22 |
time job which makes it impossible for a co-op to buy some of my time to |
| 23 |
speed things up, but that's a different problem. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Daniel, please - we've been going at this for as long as I've been a dev. |
| 26 |
Please get the original, long-promised Not-For-Profit established before you |
| 27 |
do *anything* else. If you need money to pay the costs, we'll get you the |
| 28 |
money. But please - get it done. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
And please stop using xfree86 as an example of why we need the co-op. That |
| 31 |
project collapsed because of the actions of its leadership. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I've been asked to direct people to the new gentoo-nfp list, where all of |
| 34 |
this will be discussed. Feel free to subscribe ;-) |

Many thanks, |
