Re: [Consortium] Advertising Policy - linuxaudio.org

Patrick Shirkey said : I find the whole discussion quite confusing to be honest. This is probably linked to the history of the consortium and the fact its legal status and who owns what for what purposes, and as consequence its goal, is rather unclear. At this point it would be helpful to make a clear distinction between the following issues instead of using them interchangeably: 1. Sustainability of the consortium infrastructure (hardware, software amd meatware). 2. Promotion of GNU/Linux as a creative platform. 3. Decoupling the commercial interests of some parties from the Linux audio community. Next to that, my personal take on advertising on linuaudio.org is that the Net is already crippled with ads. Online marketing techniques come with strings attached such as the general development of pervasive tracking systems and I find rather disappointing that the consortium is OK to offer its audience and community to such deceptive practices. a. -- http://su.kuri.mu
