What’s interesting about this article is that while the
writer was attending “Autodesk
University”, and
ostensibly drinking the Autodesk Kool-Aid, he understood the message we tried
to deliver again and again that the goal was for both the existing Mapserver
and Autodesk product to continue to be developed and grow. We spent quite a bit
of time talking about Mapserver, Steve Lime, etc. I noticed that he credits the
open letter as being authored by Steve Lime. That’s totally fine by us –
we’re in this together. And me – he couldn’t even spell my
name! Totally fine. This is about open source web mapping and the communities
we serve, not individuals.
In a way, I don’t think we got much credit for being
as balanced as we were, but I really think that we should have received a bit
more than I saw in some quarters. I do appreciate the private messages of
support sent our way while we feel our way around this new (to us) world.
