The world isn't fair in the first place, neither the market where find your employer is. Orgs such as companies and universities fund internal projects based on competition, and metrics are based on goals of these orgs. And there's validation after completion based on how close to the goal the org moved. I know the e.V. isn't here for developing the software or services, so guess some questions won't be answered. Instead, goals of individuals or at most sub-projects are and will be visible in this discussion. Since the e.V. isn't for developing but for supporting, correct me if I am wrong but it is not going to set objectives related to to development goals, for example: - by 2016 make the file manager #1 in popularity on FOSS OSes - by 2017 ship a leading Qt office document library that companies use so much that it brings EUR200k in funds every year - by 2017 make 20% of the budget coming from Android apps we ship (not by donations from Plasma users but, from the regular payments on the free market) - put whatever fits here (outside of the long tail of FOSS desktop environments) -- regards, Jaroslaw Staniek KDE: : A world-wide network of software engineers, artists, writers, translators : and facilitators committed to Free Software development - http://kde.org Calligra Suite: : A graphic art and office suite - http://calligra.org Kexi: : A visual database apps builder - http://calligra.org/kexi Qt Certified Specialist: : http://www.linkedin.com/in/jstaniek _______________________________________________ kde-community mailing list kde-community@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community
