Dear John, I agree that the blog post, and especially the title, was closer to low-level sensational journalism than to international diplomacy. I was kind of shocked as you probably were to read "Openmoko has announced their 'Back to basics' plan a week ago. It's time to review." I am afraid that Brankz took my proposition that "being nice and polite is mostly optional in the Open Source world" too litteraly. But this is a blog, so could we simply assume that it was late in the evening, and when one writes as much as the author does, and one has a point clearly and simply written, sometimes ones overlook the "smooth feelings" aspects ?
Having said that, regular status updates are good for everybody. Community loves it. Management loves it too, and for good reasons. May I compare with what Michael did with the "Community updates" series to keep everybody up to date on the hardware release ? You are a bit in the same situation with the software release. So thanks for the weekly update, and keep them coming, Minh _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
