Apache workshop at the II Open Source World Conference
Hi all, a friend of mine is involved in the organization of the II Open Source World Conference in Malaga, Spain, on 15th, 16th and 17th of February 2006. http://www.opensourceworldconference.com/malaga06/en/modules/wiwimod/ He asked me whether I can invite some important people from Apache. The conference is paid by politicians and they would love to invite big names. Since we are all important here ;-) I would like to ask people (preferable living in Europe) to write me if they have interest doing a small workshop and being invited to this conference. He thinks they have a budget for 2-3 people. Note: Please understand that the final decision who will be invited lies by the Junta de Andalucia and not by my friend. My friend will only present the possible invitees. Like said before if you are well known (member, PMC officer, ...) you probably get picked before somebody new (sorry about that). Everyone that is in Malaga on this days and can make it to the conference, let us met to have a beer (or really good wine). I will be probably as well there. :) salu2 -- thorsten Together we stand, divided we fall!

Not exactly the same situation as yours but one of our users went off on one a few months back and it looked like a flame war was about to start. Rather than flame the guy (and boy was I tempted) I found that an extremely polite reply taking every care to be reasonable whilst quietly pointing out where he was wrong worked very well. I actually got half a dozen messages from other users saying something along the lines of Great reply. I was about to flame the insert favourite adjective/noun combination here but your reply was much better. and best of all, not a single flame in response on the users list. For reference, my reply is here. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-userm=113114296007215w=2 Most of the credit for what I wrote should go to those who responded calmly to a similar rant of his on the dev list. thanks for the excellent example. wow, yes, even right now I feel the urge to flame this guy. ;-) Nice example, thx. BTW I reckon it is a very good alternative to the approach Stefano described (fight fire with fire on the #2 guy). It has the advantage that you can be the #2 guy and a Gandhi approach is even harder to turn down. salu2 -- thorsten Together we stand, divided we fall!

Round mails to PMCs
Hello everybody, can we please reduce round mails to all PMC mls to a minimum? In the last months/weeks it is getting popular to send mails to all PMC's. Even worse, people start discussing via reply-all. Please use this ml to communicate and discuss the issues. Noel wrote a reminder last month ago, please follow his words: When in doubt, the correct venue for public discussion is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you very much. salu2 -- thorsten Together we stand, divided we fall!

Re: subject censored :-)
Sorry my fault. I did not realized (till now) that the mail was on this list and not to me personally. ...too many different list and mails. ;-) ...and Jeremias yes you are right that is another possibility. The best thing to stop most viruses and worm: Do not outlook or windows. ;-) ...but if the worm steals addresses then this is bad luck. salu2 On Wed, 2005-05-18 at 11:39 +0200, Jeremias Maerki wrote: Not necessarily. Many such mails have hit certain mailing lists (fop-dev, for example) with Apache people as senders. Sober uses stolen sender adresses and got lucky bypassing moderation.

The environment-friendly tour bus has access to people with disabilities, multimedia equipment where demos of W3C technologies will be at visitors disposal, projection equipment,and video conferencing and Internet connectivity via satellite. During the tour, the ten universities will host conferences giving university research staff, students and organizations interested in W3C standards adoption and implementation the opportunity to establish relationships. The Standards Tour runs for three weeks and visits the following cities in Spain. All events are free and open to the public. * Gijn (Opening Ceremony): 3 November 2004 * Bilbao: 4-5 November 2004 * Zaragoza: 8 November 2004 * Barcelona: 9-10 November 2004 * Valencia: 11-12 November 2004 * Sevilla: 15-16 November 2004 * Madrid: 17-19 November 2004 * Salamanca: 22 November 2004 * A Corua: 24 November 2004 * Oviedo: 26 November 2004 Although the Web is in concentrated use in Spain, there is a lot of exciting new technology coming in the near future.

Our Spanish Office has come up with a novel way of reaching out in Spain, said Ivan Herman, Head of Offices at W3C.

Re: [OT] How to prevent abusing Apache priviliges
Sorry for starting this thread in two list but I was not sure where to post it in the first place. My intention was not to make noise! If I did I am very sorry for that. I will answer the thread in incubator. spot thorsten El sáb, 16-10-2004 a las 04:53, Roy T.

Now, some people want this issue brought into public, whereas others say it should be handled only with the Incubator PMC, or possibly the Board. The general at incubator mailing list is a public list. Anyone interested in participating in the incubation of new projects should join it. That is where such topics are discussed. Cross-posting to two public lists, when one of which is responsible for the topic and the other (community) is not responsible for much of anything, only generates noise. I don't like noise. It interferes with progress.

[OT] How to prevent abusing Apache priviliges
Hello lists, what if incubating mentors would abuse their powers to interfer with the normal evolution of Apache incubation projects. I think that mentors could write off-list mails to possible committers and discourage them to committ to a incubating projects. On the end this mentor could recommend to the possible incubating committer to work on a *NON* apache project instead of the incubating project. THAT WOULD BE A VIOLATION TO THE APACHE WAY TO DO THINGS!!! I reckon we recommend to ban such mentors because they have not understood the Apache way. I think they not deserve to carry a @apache.org branding. I am still learning that way but I know that we are not a marketing place. If they not abusing their powers they are welcome to help building a good community and good code. I hope that we can make some rules in Apache to prevent that to happen. I think a abuse of e.g. mentor powers should be punished by a ban! I think we do not want that to happen here. So we should make sure that is not! How can we make sure that this will not happen in the ASF? WDYT? spot thorsten - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
