OK folks, I'm out for a bit as I have a personal trip and a spike at work which will prevent me from arguing about try-with-resources for a while. Two thoughts to part on.
* I'm pretty sure jclouds wants folks like me to participate. Please make that easier and less stressful, monotonous, or otherwise WTF. When we create long-term branches before identifying any user-pleasing features, and then don't backport anything, folks like me are backporting MoreObjects to Objects, or hunting in git history vs looking at how to fix real problems or realize real features. Please, find a way to end the "I forked for try-with-resources" madness. Even if you hate the idea of android, do it to keep your other devs productive and to stop the bug port gap. Fork when you've found something meaningfully incompatible. * When we started jclouds, it was all about the users. Find them again As a project, we should never justify something by saying an account with 200 followers tweeted it and no-one complained, or some email that was mobbed by a dev pile-on only had one user say "meh". There's a real, but solvable engagement problem. Please don't perpetuate this disconnection. Engage and ask users what they are doing. Ask them to reply to mail threads. Don't pile-on to user discussion.. allow folks to reply, and actively nudge users who aren't replying to either reply or send you text that they reply with. Hope this helps, and see you around. -A
