Sean did a good thing, but his actions weren't always the best. Sean championed the rotten Logitech Public Source License for the software that drives Controller, Radio, and Touch, and I'm convinced that led to a much lower level of "community" help fixing bugs and enhancing the new platform. Fortunately Logitech fixed that problem and now (special thanks also to Erland) we're starting to see an increasing number of improvements and customizations that address the needs and desires that Logitech can't tackle on its own. LPSL nearly killed the Squeezebox line, as Slim Devices and Logitech SMBU never adequately staffed themselves for the sort of closed development that the LPSL required. It's clear to me that a bunch of warm feelings are due to a number of Logitech folks (including old-timers now on the payroll like Ben, Michael, and Andy) who fought to fix the LPSL mess and get things moving again. Certainly I forgive Sean his licensing goof, and thank everbody on the Slim/Logi payroll and off for all the great things they've done. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ Free plugins: 'AllQuiet' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AllQuiet.html) 'Auto Dim/AutoDisplay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AutoDisplay.html) 'BlankSaver' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/BlankSaver.html) 'ContextMenu' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/ContextMenu.html) 'DenonSerial' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/DenonSerial.html) 'FuzzyTime' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/FuzzyTime.html) 'KidsPlay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KidsPlay.html) 'KitchenTimer' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KitchenTimer.html) 'PlayLog' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PlayLog.html) 'PowerCenter/BottleRocket' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PowerCenter.html) 'SaverSwitcher' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SaverSwitcher.html) 'SettingsManager' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SettingsManager.html) 'SleepFade' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SleepFade.html) 'StatusFirst' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/StatusFirst.html) 'SyncOptions' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SyncOptions.html) 'VolumeLock' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/VolumeLock.html) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78945 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
