RE: [luau] Linux makes the cover of Business Week
Scott How can you say this when there are three non-profits here on Oahu that support Opensource. Not only that but your one of your Directors of HOSEF personally threatened the DOE, that is Warren Togami who threatened Wes Koga. Why would someone be so stupid to threaten the DOE on Oahu with a LAWSUIT if he wasn't allowed to install an Opensource network in the public schools. How do you think I received this information and who do you think has the public school contacts for all the network coordinators and even their personal cells in some cases. Your HOSEF group has given the Opensource movement a black eye. Remember the guote: "The enemy is We" , well that refers to YOU so Bill Gates is less of a threat to the Opensource movement. With two hours of mediation we were able to strike a deal with the DOE and save Opensource Projects. You wanted facts, well there you go! Our group is growing so quick that we have to redo the list of officers and believe it or not they are NOT on the LUAU and some founded the LUAU. If you cant take any criticism (legend in your own mind) then go home to mommy because your acting as a child and you couldn't Direct your way out of the restroom. The TROLL is also YOU. PS. Your HOSEF site sucks! http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/toc/03_09/B382203linux.htm Above is the link to the online article. Don't you feel the change coming? Aren't you glad that you belong to an Open Souce community like LUAU? Other than getting frustrated with the occasional flames on this list, what have you done to make the Open Source world better today? Exactly. Tuesday's and Saturday's we gather to do good things. We do not fan flames started by mischievous trolls. We do tangible work intended for the schools and other non-profits. We are Hawaii's only PUBLICLY disclosed non-profit that invites the public to help. We are HOSEF, we support our LUAU, and we are much more resilient than a few trolls. Let's go. scott ___ LUAU mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://videl.ics.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/luau

Re: [luau] Linux makes the cover of Business Week
Correct! Six months ago I made a suggestion to the group that the chit chat be trimmed down to business conversations and that "inflamed" some EGOs. But remember long before I signed on the list some of who already split from the group over petty bickering. Maybe the problem wasnt the people who left but the ones who remained. That is since the problem still remains. What I meant by that was that the negatives being displayed outside in the real world reflect back on the Opensource movement as a whole. Im afraid that many times people fail to realize that there is a difference between life on the college campus and how you do business in the real world. Whenever someone fails to face that and give proper respect to those who have done business in the real world for over 20 years successfully then you are doomed to failure. Dont expect to get the support of the "BIG GUNS" here on Oahu with that kind of attitude. Thus came the POGO analogy and why so many people with great potential are going to unsubscribe. Thus was my response from the TROLL statement. If that TROLL statement wasnt made to INFLAME some people then some who made that statement has their head in the wrong area. Also the statement that if you dont like the way we do business than unsubscribe then so be it. If you cant take suggestions or turn suggestions into criticism then get your EGO in check.
