I sincerely don't think the above description is what Kieran meant when he
talked about sustainability at Demuxed, which this thread seems to be a
response to.
I am pretty sure Michael did not start this thread because of Kieran's talk, but
only he can tell.
His talk was just hours ago and I was not there but got that picture from his
slide quickly. That I even mentioned it, was my honest interest about his
connection to FFlabs - well, it just made him being angry about me now, so I
don't persue that any further and for the discussion, its completely irrelevant.
I should have made it more clear its more like a side note.
Yes, it appears that "sustainability" used in both, the talk and the thread, has
been received in a wrong way regarding to this discussion from almost anyone
involved and raised the level of confusing argumentation you mention below.
I'm happy to elaborate, but I think we're talking about two completely
different things at this point. Spending SPI money is great. But Kieran
talked about *raising* donations from the very companies you (seem to?)
prefer to ignore because of their bureaucracy. If we're talking about
distinct things, we'll likely end up with distinct (and multiple) solutions.
I agree to the most extend of that. Maybe it could be worthwhile to split this
discussion into both parts of it.
I ignore, or better say don't care about, companies in regard to fund
development (or whatever) over SPI in the context of this discussion _IF_ they
are blocked doing that because of their bureaucracy. And if they do, I am
obviously happy to deal with them in a way that suits them.
