Sorry, don't have the thread in my mail anymore, so new thread. Today I got this snippet in the mail regarding permission to install Bacula on a subcontractor's systems:
"Regarding `the count bacula', I need to escalate your request to my colleagues in *** to see if it can co-exist with ***. I'll let you know." Somehow that sounds ominous. Personally I appreciate the catchphrase's humour, and apparently my counterpart above does too, but it also gives the wrong impression regarding maturity (of the product) to his PHB. If Bacula (or more importantly Bacula Systems) wants to be perceived as professional, it needs to be acknowledged that engineering culture (read humour) is not compatible with management/business culture. IMHO it's a mistake to rely on the engineering layer's ability to sensibly filter this to management, at least the 'sucks by night' catchphrase needlessly complicates acceptance and has to go. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
