I would like to apologize for my use of the term "straw man" here. Again, your comparison (to other open source projects) is not unreasonable, it's just one that Google executives will not count for much, which is why I'm trying to steer you to make comparisons to competition that executives might care for more. Part of my frustration is that I was in your position two years ago, lobbying for Android to be more open. In the seven stages of grief, I am on "acceptance" now. You're probably in "anger & bargaining", where I was in 2009. BTW, bear in mind that Google generally doesn't pay attention to this list. If you want your voice to be heard, and you're coming to I|O, visit them in office hours and plead your case. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Warescription: Three Android Books, Plus Updates, One Low Price! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
