this doesn't makes it much sustainable for the people that is really
developing software and i think this consortium should focus in filling
some gaps instead of enforcing a merchandising that is already existing.
do i have to fill a webform? :)
that's all what it is about my intervention on this mailinglist.
in order to
properly recognize the communities and developers that
really make things possible, i suggest you take more care to look into
the bush Ivica, we need this for the good of our own consortium members.
Sorry, but you lost me again. How is consortium not catering to the needs of
its members by reinforcing membership and/or trying to gather resources so
that it can offer more opportunities to its membership base? well then, my
issue is just about inclusion of Ubuntu (and not
ubuntustudio) and of Mark Shuttleworth here.
we already sent out an announcement mail without discussing it first
here, i'm glad to see there is still some space for discussion.
You are more than welcome to make a call for a vote for/against the
inclusion of Ubuntu, or for anything else for that matter. FWIW, the "maintenance" component of the
consortium so far has not spent any
of the consortium's resources on themselves (even though we've had our share
of the expenses we covered from our own pockets), in part because consortium
has none, nor are there any plans to do so anytime soon, even though our
time is arguably the most precious commodity (and I can assure you that all
involved in the maintenance component have spent ample time in making things
happen--hopefully you will appreciate that).
yes, i find the above higly appreciable,
thanks,
ciao
