Hmm, this needs to get translated, as we here is at the core of the problem (I think). <Translation> The way I see it, the core of this discussion is if Linux Labs AS (RW), BzzWare AS (FAJ) and others in "Linux i Skolen/Skolelinux" should have information about what competitors contacts SLX Debian labs about, before these companies wishes to step forward themself. </Translation> I think part of the problem is that there is a bit of uncertainity of which role The Project Leader of Skolelinux (not the elected leader of Skolelinux/Linux i Skolen) has in this. When is he the project leader of Skolelinux, and when is he an employee of SLX Debian Labs. The people involved with Skolelinux development pretty much know when we step on another contributors area. If so, we talk, and things will be sorted out in best interest for the project and involved parties. But when the project leader is asking questions on how to run a Skolelinux-installation, and how to make sure upgrades and such is done properly, and this is because this is a "demand" from this "not-to-be-named" competitor, then I for one, feel that this is to give away my own trade-secrets. > Prinsippielt er dette problematisk da det griper rett inn i habiliteten til > de som sp�r som � vita hva konkurrenter foretar seg - f�r ting er ferdig > forhandlet.

How fair is it that by example, one board member, who at the same time is the Manager of "Linux-firm X", gets to know what the competing company named "Linux-firm Y" is asking SLX Debian Labs </Translation> Well, I guess it almost like when a project leader is asking: How much time will it take to do this ? How would you ensure that ? And not telling that it's a third party, who is going to demolish the possibility for "Linux-firm Z", that wants this information. > N�r det gjelder SLX Debian labs, er de allerede et kompetansesenter slik det > ble skissert fra Utdannins og forskningsdepartementet p� m�te 15. november > 2002: > > http://developer.skolelinux.no/info/prosjektet/referater/ref_ufd_20021115.txt <Short Translation/Rewrite> SLX Debian labs is created to meet the demands for a thrustworthy organization, and organization to point at if/when somethings failes.

It should not be possible, but this mailthread show that it's happened. SLX Debian labs is about to step on the toes on some of the contributors to the Skolelinux Project. -- Finn-Arne Johansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bzz.no/
