-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Carl,
I understand. Please do keep up the good work and continue turning users into devs. that's what counts end of the day and that's what's exactly we look for in a project that's trying to get out of incubation. We've seen so many fail (example TSIK, WSIL4J, EWS, MIRAE etc...) Please allow us a bit of room to be skeptical. It's excellent that everyone is chiming in. It's a good sign. thanks, dims Carl Trieloff wrote: | Davanum Srinivas wrote: |> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- |> Hash: SHA1 |> |> Carl, |> |> If you take a step back and think about it...this process has been |> like "pulling teeth".

Let me add a few comments that might help. Over | the course of the project we have received large contributions from at | least 3+ legally independents. They include Rupert Smith (.NET), | Colin Crist (Hermes integration / use cases), Tomas Restrepo (.NET). We | also have 3 independents that have that have contributed | significantly but may or may not be termed legally independent Bhupendra | Bhardwaj (Java mgmt), Kevin Smith (TLS), Steven Shaw | (Java). Depends if you want to rant or not. | | Over and above that we have no one company that has controlled the | commit count as Martin has clearly pointed out. Additionally we | have quite a few active independents currently on the project as Rajith | has pointed out that will most like be voted on as committer if they | follow through. All that said, we do have a set of committers that don't | disclose there employer. Aside from that this should be enough to | indicate that the project is well manged, welcoming and diverse, as the | project is not overly dependent on one company. It should also | be clear that we have or more than at least legally required number of | parties in the project. | | We have seen a pattern of independents show and help create a feature | they need and then become less active. I assume this is a pattern | for those that can't write open source for a living but they are highly | valued part of the Qpid community. | | personally I like people to speak for themselves, as that shows more | than one face to the project. So maybe the info has not been concise but | at least you know that we have a great passionate team and great mentors | on this project | | kind regards, | Carl. | | | | | | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Cygwin) iD8DBQFH6CvygNg6eWEDv1kRAraMAKCmPlcVRQ8wf2NVqD+m+E6QJD1JVQCgyAEm WVN10Btovl6VDkpxEX7i9JU= =wkEa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
