So you're basically in the same situation as we all. Without prior communication, Michael Collins, who was certainly not an active member of the community since years, took opportunity of the expired domain and posted public announcements. I can's see any controversy here, just basic misdemeanor. > Its open source, for goodness sake.

I am not sure about "Angst" but the general consternation is understandable. OpenSource, for sure, opens possibilities to experiment and expand what's there, but it also means to work together with other volunteers. Moreover, for "OpenSource" to be possible, some people care to keep the necessary infrastructure running, and do so in their spare time. Just to mention the necessity to keep sourcecode repositories and a mailinglist or forum running. Without such, there is no "open source". How would you judge someone who does announcements, but seemingly isn't interested in helping with these core concerns? If you're puzzled about my words, then please just visit http://git.cinelerra.org/gitweb or http://cinelerra.org/gitweb and then visit the git-server on the (now moved) community site, which still runs on the same server machine we're keeping up since years: http://git.cinelerra-cv.org/gitweb _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://lists.skolelinux.org/listinfo/cinelerra
