Amen to that. And as to those that worry about this marketing `takeover' -- in the end of the day - the ASF, as a fully volunteer ran organisation, relies on us, as individuals, to strike that balance that makes these conferences so attractive to us volunteers & our community. We, volunteers vote with our feet ! So rather than worry about these sort if artefacts of institutionalisation or what bad KPIs \& wrong incentives can drive in a corporate world -- lets just make sure together that these conferences are what we want. :) Dw. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@community.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@community.apache.org
