Let me be direct. I understand it -- you don't like the project management choices. You would do it differently. You _are_ doing it differently for your customers
Please take content of this type somewhere else, as your commercial interest makes your 'rants' suspiciously tainted to me
It is simply inappropriate and rude to eat at a free restaurant in the honored guest private dining room, and then loudly complain that the portions were too small, and did not taste good
Take your complaints outside
Thank you, Russ. For those who do not know, Russ has more experience working on large open source projects than most of us combined. Reference http://planet.centos.org/
Although I do not agree with Jörg getting personal I, like others, can understand the frustration of Jörg and probably his last message with the legal threats (thread GPL violations) are his desperate effort to change that.
But Russ misses the point in my opinion. Apart from that commercial interests are totally valid and a lot of people have already argued that Jörg’s point of view is legally totally correct, it is not clear for me why Heinz and Oleksandr do not except any help. They stated several times, that they are short in time. But they did not accept any help offer by Jörg for example.
In my opinion it is unfair and misleading to the community, because people do plan their road map according to those statements. I do not know the reason. But if Heinz and Oleksandr are afraid that they could loose control over the project or do not want to share the burden, they should state it clearly and people can draw their own conclusions from their on.
I definitely hope that this thread is not going to be any longer until Heinz is back from vacation. I do thank Heinz and Oleksandr for their work and support and I do hope that the X2go “community” will settle this argument and will work together in the future as stated in several messages to the list.
Heinz and Oleksandr, if you need help with those legal issues I guess there are a lot of people out here who can give you advise and support you. Just publish that letter from that other company and go open with that.
Thanks,
Paul
