What does the Board have to do with the Marketing Team? Allan and Sumana, as members of the Marketing Team, are certainly good decision makers but the Board should not be doing any top-down management and I certainly hope that the Board is not putting Allan and Sumana in the difficult position of having to choose between what they know is the right thing to do and what their contract provider is asking that they do. I think that they are both qualified enough to stand on their own without being micromanaged. Further, I hope that any such discussions are transparent and exclusively on this mailing list. > The whole "fall-back" messaging & in particular the absence of a short > list of places where this is known not to be appropriate seems to me to > be setting us up for an entirely avoidable post-release shit-storm... > but like I said, it's not my call. What do you mean, "Not to be appropriate?" Fallback will work everywhere that GNOME 2.x has worked and any sysadmin crazy enough to deploy an enterprise desktop roll-out of a non-Enterprise distribution already has the tools they need to force Fallback Mode if they are so inclined. I don't see why it's even remotely relevant to the release of 3.0. -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
