No. People in out-of-the-way time zones are excluded when issues are worked out during rapid-fire discussions. So are hobbyists and part-time people who can't hover over the keyboard at every moment. Real-time communications consolidate power in the hands of people who are paid to work on the project. Of course, excluding people is quite convenient if you're a company that's here for the brandwashing paying lip-service to Apache ideals while actually ramming through your agenda. But in theory at least, Apache isn't here to serve them. Marvin Humphrey
