Insofar as "absentees are always wrong" (French proverb), yes, but it should be noted that almost no one participated in that "decision". > And to do that, i will use my influence as shareholder of FFlabs to (...) > [donate] excess funds (...) to FFmpeg. That statement gives the impression that you and/or the community expect that sort of behaviour out of sponsors. This seems more likely to put off prospective sponsors than motivate them, to be honest. You wouldn't typically announce sponsorships until after they are somewhat or fully committed. It also looks like a discussion point that belongs in your shareholder meetings rather than FFmpeg-devel as others already pointed out. > Comments and Suggestion are welcome Yeah: Don't comment publicly about future or ongoing specific sponsorship negotiations. Or at least ask yourself what do you think is more important and should be prioritised over the other: - Holdng public discussion about getting sponsorships. - Actually getting sponsorships. -- 德尼-库尔蒙‧雷米 Villeneuve de Tapiola, ex-République finlandaise d´Uusimaa _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
