One of the parties who got confused was Sun's Motti Sadovsky, on behalf of the confused masses, allow me to calm you and tell you I was not one bit confused, infact I wasn't aware there was anything to be confused about to this moment. Now that you explaind it it seems to make sense mostly (surreal sense, mind you - Sun initiates a convention and let it be run by volunteers that undermine its intentions, heh) > who more or less promised the same server to both Hamakor and the new > body. We would have shared it, except that some of the members of the > new body want to base it on their propritary software (CA, Oracle, IBM). a severe case of "they don't get it". sad. > Shlomif's knoppix clone, umm? > chip in and buy a fiasco type 1U non-server for ~1000$, or we'll get I'm all for that. donations will always fit the whims of the donating parties and rarely those of the community. for the price of SCSI we can get half a tera of IDE ourselves. > I will also state that some of the confusion stems from a difference > of language.

I am hoping that well, since our goals are so different and so are our ways of action, where do you see the common lines where the two bodies meet? one uses the kernel to run propriatary server apps, and the other uses it to promote free software for workstations and other configurations. while the two don't step much on eachother's toes, I fail to see how they need the cooperation of eachother (other than them getting free help from us)? -- Closed captions provided by Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
