I object very strongly to those statements; I hope it was not under my watch and I goes very much against the grain of everyone involved with Sugar and OLPC in all the time I was there. While I didn't always agree or like AC's work or strategies, I have been, on and off the record, always in favor of having a strong ecosystem. AC being the main player in that space, this translated in a strong advocacy for AC. As a professional in the foss world, this is not something I would accept in my team, and I don't think anyone in the team had the kind of personality to play such games. There were times where it was easy for OLPC to integrate patches, There were times when it was hard. I tried to signal that in advance because I have been on both sides of the integration game (and I continue to be -- now with Moodle) and I profoundly despise games such as the one being suggested. with a bad taste in my mouth, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first ~ http://docs.moodle.org/en/User:Martin_Langhoff _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
