Both Rich and Jan have made the same point: We need to better job of communicating our desire for the LF to run free - this is my personal takeaway here
I'm not concerned about ApacheCon becoming "unapache" - that's why we chose the LF and I believe that's the value LF see in ApacheCon. Their overall mission in this regard is aligned with our own.

These are expectations that we simply need to do a better job of communicating with them when we sit down with them in Austin. I think they are doing their best to satisfy the expectations that we have communicated, and we need to communicate better. I think, in retrospect, I spent too much time talking about how things used to be, and not enough time saying that it's their job to set the tone going forward. --Rich -- Rich Bowen - rbo...@rcbowen.com - @rbowen http://apachecon.com/ - @apachecon
