Long term I worry about the foundation. No offense to anybody. I'm sure |
| 10 |
I don't know or understand the problems you/we have encountered along |
| 11 |
the way. But I think we need to face it 99.9% of our devs are not |
| 12 |
suited to run a foundation such as this. That's not a bad thing in any |
| 13 |
such way. Most of us came to this project cuz we are geeks doing geeky |
| 14 |
things is what we do best.. |
| 15 |
I'm sure some of you get roped into doing the foundation because |
| 16 |
you truly love Gentoo and want to see things be taken care of. However |
| 17 |
to be frank. I don't think I've seen a single substantial thing |
| 18 |
accomplished sense cshields left Gentoo. Please don't take that the |
| 19 |
wrong way. I know we are all busy people. Perhaps you guys have done |
| 20 |
shitloads and I/we just don't know about it. Perhaps it's still the same |
| 21 |
old story.. We are waiting on ABC banks. We can't re-incorp without |
| 22 |
XYZ first. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Anyway point I'm trying to make here is that I think we might be |
| 25 |
better off using a 3rd party as our foundation. IE people who have |
| 26 |
the experience/motivation and time to focus on such things |
| 27 |
that a foundation should be. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Anyway. I'd like to nominate nobody in-house. |
