This is, imo, ridiculous. Why on earth would this need to be done? The
|
|
LDP -- despite some rough periods and one, imo, over-blown Slashdot
|
|
article -- is one of the *most* successful Linux projects. Ever. I
|
|
can't imagine needing to pay 'core team' members travel to 'introduce'
|
|
the LDP?
|
|
|
|
And, btw, I'd very much appreciate it if the unfortunate attitude that
|
|
some of us perceive (and speak up about) from the 'core team' about
|
|
'us versus them' would go away. We should drop all mention of a 'core
|
|
team'. This is *not* the Linux way.
|
|
|
|
Some of you guys work on LDP in one way, other people work on it in
|
|
other ways. I hardly think that certifies some 'core team' to make
|
|
important decisions and pass on the results to the 'rest of
|
|
us'. That's got to stop. If it's not happening, the perception that it
|
|
is has to stop.
|
|
|
|
Finally, as for this other idea that 'it's only a few LDP people who
|
|
are upset so it's not a problem' that's just intellectually lazy and
|
|
sophomoric. If someone criticizes you or what you do, have the guts to
|
|
defend yourself on the issues. Saying that it's only a few malcontents
|
|
is dodging the issue and solves nothing.
|
|
|
|
If the 'core team' is going to continue to make decisions in this
|
|
unilateral fashion, then you're going to have to expect people to
|
|
criticize you for it; when that happens, at least have the decency to
|
|
respond on the issues.
|
|
|
|
Best,
|
|
|

<Kendall/>
|
|
|
|
PS--I'm happy for *most* of the Web site changes, and the HOWTO
|
|
submission re-engineering. Now, if we can just move back to being a
|
|
Linux-like, rather than a BSD-like, project, the LDP will be perfectly
|
|
fine.
