-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Although I felt generally positive about the work with GitBull, both that *and* the "LibreMark" work exhibit a pattern that I do not like:
Announcing the idea as somethi that is now already being done. I think you have a habit of skipping the step of coordinating with / checking with other people interested in the topic before making something. You would have learned more about the trademark issues with GitBull if you had proposed or discussed the idea before simply making it. You would learn more about trademark and people's views of it by discussing it before creating a proposed LibreMark thing. On glancing at it, the LibreMark idea seems to hold some merit, although I think it may be overkill, I'm not yet sure it is warranted. I don't yet have a real opinion here. I just really prefer that people do their due diligence to research what exists and check with others before just running out and making new projects. Often, other people have valuable ideas or valuable work has been developed for a long time, and the tendency to just bypass all that and start a new project is, I think, not as healthy as checking about what is or isn't working and what lessons others have learned etc. and then starting new projects with the buy-in from the community early on. That said, you're sharing this now, so there's room for discussion. I'm not trying to shame you. I just feel awkward about the first announcement of a problem being joined immediately with already acting to solve it without discussion in between. I'm not sure that the SFC being protective of the Git trademark is a bad thing in any sense here. I'm not sure that it's a problem that needs solving. But I'm not sure that LibreMark is a bad idea either. I haven't had time to make sense of this. I just definitely don't have the immediate "this is wrong" reaction to the trademark situation that you had.
