Hi Jaromil,
2) i have nothing against African Words. it's just
that I have problems
sometimes with the way they are used by colonists owning swimming
pools there.
Ouch! I don't know if Mark has a swimming pool, but I do know he didn't
choose to be born in South Africa, and also that he's too young to have
been responsible for apartheid.
i recalled the issue of bounties after mentioning that
we should foster
better (equal, respectful of already existing projects, etc.)
redistribution of resources from Ubuntu in case we include it
That could be hard to achieve given that Ubuntu/Canonical is backed by
private money and therefore has no statutory responsibility to be 'fair'
to other projects. As for existing projects, Canonical is paying a lot
of Debian developers to work on free software.
and in
case we do it that should not be done in the form of bounties.
If you've got suggestions for a better way of distributing resources,
I'd be glad to hear them. Is there a middle way between bounties and
having hackers under contract, i.e. in proper jobs?
Cheers!
Daniel
