If the
linuxaudio.org project intends to have official
status,
then you should *first* take LAD and ZKM conference seriously
I do. They have a certain amount of natural authority.
as
something with official status.
You're just wrong here. They have no official status which allows
them to dictate how advocacy is done - neither do you.
So you do have official status then?
Nope. But then I'm not telling anyone else what to do.
I took this
unpaid job on because no-one else was doing it.
Did you ask anybody?
Plenty of people. All were positive, so I went ahead. Not everyone has
the time or inclination to do advocacy work.
Any voting?
We can't take a vote on anything until there's some sort of structure
in place to organise the voting - that's exactly what we're trying to
do with the
linuxaudio.org management board.
I'm quite
aware
of the fundamental contribution of libre software developers to
the systems I use, which is why they have equal weight with
companies on the
linuxaudio.org management board.
Sorry but 'equal' just isn't the right word for it, 95% vs. 5%
would be.
I don't understand your maths. The members so far are mostly libre
software projects, and the management board will be established on a
one member one vote basis.
LAD members
have had plenty of time to set up an organisation of
this nature, and none of them have. What does that tell you?
What should it tell me?
That no-one else could spare the time, probably.
I didn't know that criticism = trolling for you.
My definition of trolling would be persistent, unfair and unhelpful
criticism. I'm all favour of positive criticism - I'd settle for
neutral criticism. Please give us a break until after the launch at
least.
