Hi Heitor, all
I assume you replied to my list mail only directly to me because I
aparently somehow screwed up with my reply-to setting. (If any reply-to
is set here, this is *not* my intention.)
I do prefer to keep this discussion public, which is the reason I sent
to the list in the first place. I think replying only directly is
inappropriate.

Hello Arno,

registered, who are your developers? I wouldn't want to trust data
deserving backup to some very anonymous entity.
Spare me from your sour grapes.
I don't understand why you describe my consideration sour grapes... I'm
just curious to learn who actually is behind your project. As you
probably recall, I ended up using Bacula because I was very much
concerned about long-term stability of backup data and in consequence
backup software, so I assumed you would understand that i'd like to know
if there's some forseeable future for your latest project. The one you
announced last seems to be replaced already, and I see no clear
statement about technical and commercial continuity, which made me wonder.
I've done what your crappy development team haven't done in 20 years.
Sure. However, "my" development team can at least claim that what was
backed up with their product 20 years ago can still be restored today,
and what I learnt about their software is still useful today. I consider
that not particularly crappy.
Also, I don't own them. In fact, we sometimes disagree, and I'm quite
sure they never took any orders from me.
> Or, as a suggestion: Perhaps you should find another person in your
holding to communicate all your exciting projects. I think you're losing
credibility. At least try to set up some consistent mail addresses.
You are a community project manager
I'm not aware of that role. If somebody put me there I would object and
point out that I'd probably be the worst possible choice anyway.
and also one of the Bacula Systems
SA founders - entities with "no relations"?
Did my questions in any way imply that I had no relation to Bacula
Systems? (Anybody interested to know -- yes, most of my work is for
Bacula Systems and often involves direct contact with Bacula Systems'
customers and prospects, where I do represent Bacula Systems. I am,
however, neither an employee nor a manager of that company. My mail
signature is technically and legally correct, and while I probably could
subscribe here with a baculasystems.com address, I never did so and have
good reasons to stick with what I have.)
Who are you to talk about
credibility?
Sorry, but I don't understand where my credibility is relevant here. If
you think my question is pointless that's fine, but the implication that
I tried to represent some other entity's concerns as my own seems hardly
justified. But I may be biased, as you so clearly pointed out.
You have clear conflict of interests
No. You seem to see one, but let me reassure you -- I have asked similar
questions to managers of other backup software or service providers with
more or less the same reasons. Of course I try to understand where my --
and Bacula Systems' -- competition are heading at and coming from.
Asking questions about organizational background is, as I see it, hardly
spreading FUD.
- don't fuck FUD my project.
A community based on threats and lies
Erm... did I ever threaten you? Or anybody else you know of?
Did I ever lie to you?
Or do you address the whole community around here?
- posing as "open" only to gather
legitimate users, like mew in 2005 and the Bareos guys, but then
imposing flaky licensing traps.
You are mentioning things here I find difficult to discuss as I've never
been involved in the legal aspects. What I *was* involved in is, as it
happens, not something I would want to discuss here, although my
impression was not that any licensing traps were involved as nobody ever
brought licensing disputes to my attention. I'm also not exactly
understanding how you and the Bareos guys were gathered in any
particular manner and to my profit.
However, I don't think this is relevant to this discussion.
Back on topic -- I am interested to learn about the background of your
newest project, which has now moved from PodHeitor to NGStructures and
the LSG Group holding of which I know nothing and who don't really
disclose anything on their web pages. Which, probably understandably,
makes me a bit suspicious.
Talking on behalf of such a business structure with a google email
address does seem a bit unprofessional to me, so I wanted to have this
clarified.
Farewall.
As you don't seem interested in providing any clarification I'm sorry to
see that my admittedly provocative way to ask aparently made you leave
this group here.
Well, good luck with your current and future ventures.
Arno
