Okay, guys. Stop flooding my e-mails with your failed flamewar... Yes, Open Source Software *theoretically* operates on the "Bazaar" model, and that works fine when dealing within the community. But when six different people independently come up with something (like a logo :0), if that community wants to look like a unified movement, it will be in the project's overall best interests to pick one. This is why the most successful Open Source projects have strong leaders (Linus, as a good example).
Yes, we want to encourage people bringing their own ideas, but we want to present the best one (or combination) to the uninitiated "outside" world. This requires discarding some ideas, or sticking them in a file bin, or whatever. Yes, this creates the risk of forking, but the alternative is us wasting time with needless flamewars about which OEM logo to use and whether to use one at all, which is equally likely of creating forks or discouraging volunteers because nothing is getting done. How that leadership is selected does not matter, so long as (a) the leader does his or her job, and (b) the leader maintains authority (i.e. people respect her/his decisions). Now, can we move on? - RG> On 2/21/06, Charles-H.Schulz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > +1 for Label B. > Thanks guys for your work! > > Best, > Charles. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
