Well, this is going to be a can of worms :) I expect people will be evenly |
| 12 |
split between the "we can do what we want to do" and "we need rules" camps. |
| 13 |
So I will throw in an extreme example - what if a dev was posting racist |
| 14 |
literature to news groups from their gentoo email address? What if some |
| 15 |
random person on the internet told you to f**k off? How would your feelings |
| 16 |
change if they were a redhat employee and sent that email direct from redhat, |
| 17 |
rather than being a random? When you act as a gentoo developer, with your |
| 18 |
gentoo email address, then people are going to assume that you represent |
| 19 |
gentoo. |
