"The general mailing list will from now on be used for our community and
non-development discussions."
Now that a few things have been worked out with distro guidelines,
developers mailing list, and paypal, it would be nice if we all took a break
from openness .
How about we wait 48 hours or so just to cool down. I don't know about you,
but pages and pages of one topic, some of the posts extra long and
meandering off topic are not my idea of fruitful discussion.
How about 2-5 days to think on it or make some decision. Maybe the admin
group will write up a FAQ or maybe decide to post chat logs in that time.
Maybe Michael will give us a shiny new paypal e-mail address or reveal the
results of his Waltercon poll.
No more of this "wind your neck in yourself" talk. I don't even know what
that means. No more arguing for the sake of arguing or "to win" the
argument. No more about Haiku Bounties, unless you want to start up a new
bounty system, but that one is done with. Thanks to Micheal for dropping
that. It's in the past. No more Marketing/Communications isn't "rock
surgery" Do you want Koki to program, Axel ? His profession takes skill and
hard work too. I think we released a lot of anger but created more as well.
Thanks to Czeslaw for injecting some well need humo(u)r.
Things done.
*dev list is now open
*Distro guidelines up
*Paypal reoccurring donations
Things that could be fixed or improved. To be acted upon in the next 2- 5
days
*Paypal e-mail address change would be nice and thank you note
*Financial Statement or at least a estimated time of arrival. (Micheal ?)
*Waltercon poll results(available online now but only if you vote again???)
and further discussions (Michael?)
*Admin IRC chat logs or summaries.
*How do you join or get invited ? Generalities, nothing "set in
stone."
We all know how well secret government works.
*Haiku Inc. Board of Directors (Guys lurking in the shadows step into the
light.)
* Who are you ?
* Why are you here ? Do you have anything worth...
* How are you elected
*Can you be voted out or are you set for life?
Now all of you admin and board of director people please work on some of
these things (plus ones I failed to mention) and get back to us in a few
days. Then maybe we can discuss this in smaller chunks, more on point, and
concise. Also we can talk like adults and try to keep insults to a minimum
after we had some time to cool off.
I think if we talk about this anymore as unproductively or as harshly,
they'll be throwing chairs or fists at the next Waltercon.
May the cogs of this non-profit turn quickly and not crush anyone between
its teeth.
