I trust those individuals as members of the GNOME Foundation and community, *and* as representatives of companies that contribute a great deal to GNOME (in development resources and front-line sales, marketing and research). We have a culture that embraces contributions from individuals, whatever their affiliation, which has bolstered our ability to involve major companies and their developers in the project at large. We're good at this. > What do you think about the fact that about a third of GNOME modules' > maintainers are employed by the "Big Three" GNOME corporations? Is this a > problem for you? Not at all. I think the few problems we have with our maintainership process are totally unrelated to the affiliation of those maintainers. It comes down to the people involved, not the logo on their business card or the domain of their email address. - Jeff -- Ubuntu USA & Europe Tour: Oct-Nov 2005 http://wiki.ubuntu.com/3BT "Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system." - From Monty Python to ESR, by way of Al Viro _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
