Sam,
I can't tell if you are trolling or just being yourself. Either way,
it's unpleasant. As far as I can tell, your point--that we are
wallowing in hopelessness--is false and an insult.

Hold on a second. We can't be everywhere all the time. People go to
these conferences and some if not most don't get paid for it. The
fact that we didn't have a booth at LWE SF is not a huge loss to me,
but we are a large enough project to have one. Unfortunately we are
not a well funded enough project to create a good booth. And some of
these booths, not LWSF, require to be paid for and not a cheap
sum. I
agree with Simon that we could of had a booth and sold t-shirts and
probably would have made a reasonable sum of money, but we
didn't. We
did have volunteers and we should thank them for doing what they did,
because it was probably all they could do. Sam your posts lately
seem
of deep disinterest bread by hopelessness. Keep the faith,
everything
goes through ups and downs and we just need to find a good income
stream to be able to support these conferences.
As far as going through a 2.0 launch I am sure alot of the people
there have heard of or tried the 2.0 beta, Fedora Core 4 ships
with it
installed, so most of the questions will be when is it going to be
released. At least that was my experience at OSCON. This is an
answer we really can't give them especially in the marketing
department as we can't say how fast our coders will work.
Which brings me back to my previous point. We need at least one
developer at these conferences. That would make the biggest
difference of them all.
Adam-
This response just reflects how lost the project is. We,
volunteers, always got ourselves there -- we did it OURSELVES. You
all seem to be waiting for handouts. This reflects an utter lack
of passion.
LWE is where users, developers and THE TECHNOLOGY PRESS catch up on
what's going on with the software and the project.
Apparently, on the eve of 2.0 Final, NOTHING is going on! -Sam
Do recall that you were partly funded by Sun to do PR work for them.
You also used OOo to directly aid your consulting company; perhaps
you continue to, I haven't checked recently. I'm sure you have
passion. But describing yourself as a somehow independent volunteer
here is a bit of a stretch.
Cheers,
Louis
