-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I am probably blessed by being a late comer and haven't made any bitter experience here before. Not sure if there has been?! Form the sidelines it is hard to believe that this discussion is all about the mails from last night?! To me it seems, that the tone of the discussion is way to harsh and the actual subject is just a tiny detail which needs to be worked out. I read that there is nothing preventing a snapshot from being built. It just needs to be done in the right way, read delegating the responsibility for it up the chain. If that means to obey to some rules, with the sake of being protected from being the subject of an individual litigation that seems to be fair enough to me. Actually it sounds like the every day life - being part of something bigger means to accomodate. And in case of the ASF I don't have the feeling that these are unreasonable burdens as opposed to the real life I encounter at my day job. I actually see it the other way around. All the ASF cares for is the overhead. I have' nt seen anything saying how one must develop the code itself. And that is the beef, isn't it. On a sidebar you also get the benefits of a community. Without the rules it is just a bunch of boxes running cvs, like sf. I well remember the statements on the list from apache con. How great it is to work with brilliant people. That was much more fun to read ;-) I don't see that the administrational thing is preventing the brilliance thing. My two euro cents, Cheers, Mariano -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/v7qfSraqt+SsFIMRAmceAJ9nEoN1VmD330cAWQ8FsvUvzRFIbgCdHvTF bBVeIRzoijtdrIGl1bhrN3U= =gehI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
