Its not just whether I don't like what he says on his blog (I personally find it amusing .. and don't care to go beyond that), but its about whether he really believes what he says and thinks the ASF is nothing but a pile of poo (to paraphrase his style of writing). Why in the world doesn't he want to be part of that? If you want a project to succeed in the ASF you have to be willing to give up control, be willing to live with diversity (yes even if it has poor spelling), and overall be tolerant of other people's interests and needs. Hani doesn't appear to be able to do any of that to me. I also encourage people to watch Hani's TSS interview. Quite enlightening of what he thinks of lots of things. http://www.theserverside.com/tt/talks/videos/HaniSuleiman/interview.tss?bandwidth=real ----- Anyway, he's one guy. I won't pursue this thread further; this proposal has much more interesting stuff to talk about independent of one Mr. Suleiman.
