It's not complicated, folks. ASF projects consist of individuals. Adding company affiliations after each of the initial committers names suggests, to some, that the day they move on to another company their contribution to the project ends. We understand why Cliff did so for himself (so that there would be no misunderstanding that he has a vested interest, bravo), but that this was propagated to the entire initial list of committers is very troubling.
No, including the affiliations is standard practice. This is the only way we can judge the diversity of the proposal. If it's just names of folks off the street and everyone works at the same company (and that isn't disclosed), we have no way of estimating the true diversity of the project. -- justin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
