Even if I contribute to different Mdk/Mdv offspring, I'd very much like to see this project continue, so I think this is a great proposal. > > Also, as OpenMandriva Lx, and "om.cooker" has abandoned all legacy and > trademark, and become irrelevant now, this project has no appeal to much > people, stability and usage wise I'm not even recommending it to other... > > So I propose that I assume the project leader role again (which > technically, noone took away from, Is there someone who could become your spokesman? I'd absolutely hate to see your talents wasted, but think it won't work if you don't have a talented spokesman. Openness about what you think and feel is great in many situations (it makes me feel I can trust you: that you don't have hidden intentions and that you'll say it when I do something which makes you doubt my intentions). However, here it seems to work against you: I'm worried about people like Robert Xu, I'd very much like them to stay on board. All the pain from the past and all related distrust: imho it is better to talk about it privately somewhere else. Here it masques your message about the future of the project. Also, for many contributing to a project is much more fun when believing that even if all make stupid mistakes from time to time, everyone's intentions are good. > And pointed out above that I'll be sponsoring enterprise hardware, with > the current servers soon disappering I hope you all see that this is the > only way to save this project,,, > > Would anyone protest against this? > > If so, I'll be renaming moondrake to mandrake, while still keep signing > with the authentic Mandrake key in my releases and repos,,, > > Well, I hope at least that I spark a discussion and brought up the > severity of the situation for people to fully understand in what > distress this project actually and also pave the ground for people to > discuss problems with project and what their unhappy with, Many people > are loosing interest and stopping to contribute... > Thanks for your attempt to get things moving. I hope your mail will result in a strong revival of the project.
