Hello all, After making major contributions to this project for 2-1/2 years now, and recently trying to establish some sorts of best practices for development (regular conference calls, code reviews, guidelines for commits and migrating patches into release branches, etc) and getting no traction from the rest of the contributors, I find it unrewarding to continue in a vacuum.
I've come to this decision after several months of stalemate in efforts to ameliorate our processes. I'll be staying on contributing the occasional bug fix as I need for my own circumstances, but I'll be shifting the bulk of my attention to other projects where collaboration flows a little more organically. Someone else will need to make the major development contributions if the project is to maintain momentum. I've tried over the last year and a half to find outside talent to bolster our development effort, but the specificity of the project means it has a narrow appeal, and hence a small audience from which to recruit. I thank the users for their many expressions of appreciation. I'll be present in the community as a user, so I'll still be around in one form or another. -Philip ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Astlinux-users mailing list Astlinux-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to pay...@krisk.org.
