Hm, someone says things you don't like so you want him banned. When the same call was made against Chad just a few months ago what was the outcome? In amongst all the bile and emotion there are some issues worth considering. The OOo marketing project has some characteristics of a cathedral and other characteristics of a bazaar. The "I'm more Open Source than You" childishness doesn't actually get us anywhere. Successful organisations are not bound up by cathedral-like bureaucracy and neither are they amorphous anarchies. Successful organisations are usually characterised by Strong and clear leadership that tolerates and copes with dissent Management that maximises the resources available to the best benefit of the organisation Management that inspires motivation to go beyond the call of duty Management that is impartial and identifies expertise and resources where others don't see the potential Management that is self-confident and flexible enough to use expertise and resources from any source I doubt it matters whether they are cathedrals, bazaars or governments for that matter. -- Ian Lynch www.theINGOTs.org www.opendocumentfellowship.org www.schoolforge.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
