"..it's where our skillsets lie.." Isn´t that the whole story ?
One should work where the skills are - for productive work. Maybe you can work where you have no skills - to learn. But if one is offering products or services for free, and one else does not like that for some reason: just choose something else or rebuild it like you like it. As well: if someone want´s to run a productive environment, she/he should choose something having skills on (from a security perspective which includes availability). Always interesting discussions... :-) ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2009 18:53:09 +0100 From: "Chris Hart" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Opensim-users] Win a sim competition announced by ReactionGrid To: <[email protected]> Cc: realxtend <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" The three owners of ReactionGrid, myself, Kyle and Robin Gomboy, are not employed by Microsoft, but we have good contacts and relations with several Microsoft employees. Our background is that we have run the .NET user group and the TechNet group on Microsoft Island on Second Life for the past 18 months or so as unpaid volunteers, and we started looking at OpenSim a year ago after some less-than-desirable experiences on the LL grid when running an event. We run our grid, ReactionGrid, on MS software because it is a platform we are comfortable with and believe in and it's where our skillsets lie (I've been a developer for over 10 years almost exclusively on the Microsoft platform). ReactionGrid is not owned by Microsoft, they have some sims on our grid, and they pay for an island on the LL grid that we look after as volunteers for the community. As for GNU vs BSD, I'm not even starting to get involved. If you don't like .NET, fine, other platforms are available.
