If you were actually serious about creating such an organization, the organization would have a mission above and beyond issuing demands (e.g., improve the quality of apps and app distribution). If you were actually serious about creating such an organization, you would have started with more than just you as a one-man steering committee, to work out an organizational structure, come up with a plan for setting up some actual cooperative or non-profit, etc. If you were actually serious about creating such an organization, the organization would recruit members based upon that broader mission and other benefits for joining (e.g., access to insurance pools), with the organization doing positive work to engender good will with the broader Android ecosystem, the technology sphere in general, and users (e.g., open source components to help with a consistent UI/UX across apps, promoting documented malware warnings arising from alternative markets, creating tools to help users better understand the security ramifications of the apps they install). If you were actually serious about creating such an organization, the organization would get big, get popular, *then* get noisy about "demands", when you have the numbers and the reputation. Of course, if you were actually serious about creating such an organization, you would have a last name. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 3.0 Programming Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
