Theres a contract between SPI and STF and there are agreements between the FFmpeg developers and SPI/STF to do the work. And its what the FFmpeg project publically has on our wiki > If the former, what individuals agree to with outside > parties should by no means condition how development is done... If you dont care about FFmpeg being funded and dont care about project members being able to participate in funded activities then yes you are on the right track but lets remember, i wanted to merge librempeg as my STF project. And people wanted me to instead do security fixes. So thats where this fix security issues and make release comes from you suggest i stop doing security fixes or releases ? Like i said if theres consensus that a release should be done a month later i can suggest this to STF, but i cant flip flop back and forth and keep asking for changing the deadline as the communities preferrance shifts thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Some Animals are More Equal Than Others. - George Orwell's book Animal Farm
