If I remember correctly, it was me who proposed creating this mailing list (again, for purely practical reasons). Moreover, it's a habit for me to create moderator-approved subscriptions and private-archives lists. Call me a control freak (I probably am). <ironic> I don't know if it's a good or bad habit, but one thing is sure: neither Daniel nor the rest of the Consortium ever told me to close the list and keep the archives private so that we could proceed in our secret project to overthrow the sacred Linux Audio Developers Guild [0] and put them into the rapacious hands of Microsoft (of course, all members of the Consortium are secretly paid by Microsoft). </ironic> Don't take offence, but: (a) there is no such thing as the 'open source community' - there are many different groups which work with/on/for FLOSS, each with different policies, rules (written or not) and hierarchies (apparent or not); (b) you would be surprised at knowing how much discussion on specific points of various 'Open Source' projects are held off-list. I can't manage, with all good will, to find it so disturbing. For the record: http://linuxaudio.org/en/index.html News * Consortium mailing list now available (http://lists.linuxaudio.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/consortium/) bye, andrea [0] Before someone feels the necessity to accuse me of not considering developers enough: I think that developers are an incredible resource for any computer project. So are users, bug testers, doc writers, P.R. organizers, etc, etc, etc.
