A couple of years ago, I ran into Luis Villa (attorney for Wikimedia Foundation) at an EFF event in San Francisco, and he quickly 'fessed up to having been the CADT. He's an intelligent commentator and very worthwhile person, who acknowledges that Jamie had a (limited) good point, albeit he claims Jamie played a bit fast and loose with the facts and arguably didn't draw quite the right conclusions: http://lu.is/blog/2014/03/28/i-am-the-cadt-and-advice-on-needinfoing-old-bugs-en-masse/ FWIW, Morten Welinder says Luis's recollection is faulty, and _he_ was the CADT: http://blogs.gnome.org/mortenw/2014/03/29/no-i-am-the-cadt/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
