The best prank of the year with a Geek Parliamentarian Twist or as Greg
Stein, put it:
hehehe... it was a well-coordinated attack. I'm very proud of our
"team"!!
Reading back through the issue... just so much fun. Tech stuff going
back and forth. Jim getting pissed off. Oh, and his "phone calls"
meme was awesome. Rich joining in, and Ross going all Presidential
on my ass. Meanwhile, Infra tugged along with a couple "whatever"
comments from pctony :-P ... The svn team was fabulous. Throwing in
the right measure of pushback against The Man, against Infra, and
also working through technical issues.
Amidst the churn in the issue(*), we also sent out a number of
tweets. Including some very "corporate-speak" ones out of our TheASF
account. All these different voices, and multiple people... totally
worked.
The ruse was complete. *so* many people got sucked in.
Great work, people!!
Cheers,
