I think Marc-Andre and ThinStuff need to step back and listen. Stop to tell excuses and do an analysis of state points instead to justify 'your actions' learn from the feedback. > On 10/23/2013 09:48 AM, Jay Sorg wrote: >> What do I think? >> >> I left rdesktop in Peter's control and Cendio took over. >> I left FreeRDP is your control and Thinstuff took over. > ... what do you understand by "took over"? > > Spending time on fixing bugs? > Trying to get new features in? > Spending money on improving OSS software? > Helping out users? Jay did it a lot. I did it a lot. I stopped when I noticed FreeRDP will never be usable for me. My product still uses FreeRDP 0.8+GIT (before rewrite) and it works more or less but it is stable. FreeRDP suck in this aspect. ... > Thinstuff didn't in *any* kind take over FreeRDP.

I don't know all the projects done but Marc-Andre needs to ensure not only Thinstuff needs are accomplished or it ends being a 'featureness-compliance takeover'. > On the other side, it's not a secret that we do and did projects together with > Marc-André and his company.

I participated a lot on the began of FreeRDP and it was very exciting. Currently it is not. Too bad. -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
