[newbie] Community release
Hi! I've found a lot of attitudes regarding the availability of the Cooker - Community release. I think that the club members should have some advantages - financil basically because they pay a regular amount of money. I think that people that helped - as much as they could - should be rewarded even if they are not club members because: - they've spent time on testing and confirming/infirming bugs and other issues - they've helped you to develop a good product faster - the benefit of this is common : to the club or not club members - they helped you to test on hardware that you should buy - they've provided (sometimes) useful suggestions Anyway, if they are not club embers, you could provide them the regular pack - the 3 CDs that they would have from public mirrors later. Restrict the totally passive people that wait for the final release only! I am not experienced in Linux and I can't say that I contributed much, but I did my best! Others deserve more to have the access to the distribution, but I can't stay and have no opinion on this! Sorry if I hurted you! Regards and good luck! Mike P.S.: I hope you will make it better till the final 10 without these people theat you don't let have it as if you'd give it to them! __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
