In a recent LinkedIn dialog, I replied to a MR Ray about why I was not a member of SPI (Software in the Public Interest, Inc.). I explained that the Plone Foundation handles the same functionality without the distraction of numerous disjointed smaller projects vying for attention and funding.
Ray replied, "Playing devil's advocate: Why isn't the Plone Foundation just a waste of money duplicating overheads (bank fees, corporation filing fees, ...) when Plone could be part of SPI? Is debian (SPI's largest project) really smaller than Plone?" I encourage someone from the Foundation who is in LinkedIn (Nate?) to respond to Ray. Re: Is Debian smaller than Plone? My research shows attendance at a recent Debian conference to be ~250, which is considerably smaller than Plone conference attendance. Does anyone else have any comparison points for the size of the Debian community when compared with Plone? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/SPI-vs-Plone-Foundation-tp741441p741441.html Sent from the Evangelism mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Evangelism mailing list [email protected] http://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/evangelism
