The question here is not CEO's involvement. But rather the way everything reacted. Nobody likes to be accused for doing good things right? I am truly interested about the project but I do fear what will happen according to the mails sent by initial committers.. Also I didn't add my name to the wiki - I asked the *previous champion* of the project to add me to the initial committer list.
You guys blame many people from one company coming in and then says that they shouldn't backdown. It's contradiction on it's own. So let's see things as it is - # First I was interested in the User-grid project coming under the apache umbrella # I wanted to contribute and help the project and mold it into a better one # I asked the *previous champion* to add us to the initial committer list # I get accused as *pilling* (this partly accuse WSO2 as well) # Sanjiva ask us not get involved in the project since the *current community* isn't welcoming # I withdraw my committer requests since the *current community* is accusing us for pilling *Minions aren't obliging*. I personally feel disrespected in the way people accuse each other for having underlying agendas. I was asking to contribute not *kill* the project. If we have a misunderstanding we should clear it out without disrespecting each other. PS: Also any sane person who looked at all the threads will never feel like contributing if they are been accused of. I personally get the feeling that apigee has coveted mission in bringing User-grid to Apache and not having other's involved in it. But hey all this can be a misunderstanding. Cheers
