This is false, that getting a press release is a bureaucratic effort.
Well, whatever the reason might be, I pointed to an actual event where a
friend (Becca) worked very hard to get a press release for something we
felt was important, and she felt shot down. And that was the last time
she tried to contribute at OOo. Perhaps I mis-used the word bureocracy.
But you are practiced at spreading FUD of this sort. As far as I can
tell, you blame essentially nonexistent bureaucracy when you get
impatient. I'm tired of that strategy.
Hey, relax.
How do you figure that this has to do with my being impatient? I didn't
say that the problem was that OOo reacted slowly. The problem here was
that she worked hard in an effort t ocontribute, and she felt her
efforts were not appreciated.
Incidentally, FUD stands for "fear uncertainty and doubt". I don't know
how you figure I was spreading fear, or promoting uncertainty and doubt.
I wish people would not use "FUD" to mean "you're wrong". For example,
right here you were wrong about the problem I was referring to. Should I
say that you're spreading FUD about me? I think it would be more
productive to look at what went wrong, and what can be done in the
future to improve. That would be a more positive reaction.
For what it is worth, the press release process is actually quite
simple--as are many things in OOo.
The process might be simple to describe. For example, you can say
"discuss it in the pr list, and when you agree, send it over". But the
actual dynamics might still not work well.
If you would like to be convinced, take a look at the facts.
I have pointed to a fact. :-)
Cheers,
Daniel.
