Hi Kristof, and everyone,
I'm not too keen on the BeOS IRC clients. If you really prefer IRC, recommend
me a good BeOS client to try. In fact, how about BeShare, AIM or Jabber?
Unless I am doing art or music, I am in BeOS so I'd prefer not to rely on some
non-BeOS communication method.
I don't mind trying to help with organization, but I think the needed and
desired structure-parameters have already been asked for. It just needs to be
implimented. More than that, we need to agree on a level of professionalism.
Oh, and I'm in the eastern US timezone.
Oh, Guy, you really should consider your role more like a boss at a business
than as a "cheerleader." Come to that, we're all cheerleaders, so we don't
need that many cheerleaders. We need a boss and workers. What's needed is a
task-master with a strict view on what professional work should look like, a
list of requirements, a list of expectations, a list of definitions, etc. I'd
rather take this whole thing professionally; boss and work assignments with
parameters. Instead of a loose bunch of random acts of "art" held together by
the name CDT. This is supposed to be the OpenBeOS Creative Design Team, not
just any old CDT. Throwing a bunch of random Be-related materials at the
community just isn't the best idea if the desired end result of OBOS is a
recognizable, consistent and stable OS and image. First impressions last.
