Have you ever noticed how Linus Torvalds hardly ever slams other O/Ss or goes on about ideology? He's using the "nice guy" defense. Everybody knows he has good reasons to slam other O/Ss, but he doesn't, and that gains him more approval. Stallman is more of the ideological iconoclast type, but you can see that his success has been spotty. There are big successes within a small core of "believers", but on the broad scale, he's regarded as "eccentric" at best. And that's going to depend on your personality, Timothy, and you don't strike me as the pugnacious type. Nor as an ideologue.
Maybe the vocal part of the ideology of the whole project should be handled by OHF? Traversal should always look like an entity providing solutions for those who want[1], not for changing the world. Attracting (bad) attention from ATI/Nvidia at this point of time wouldn't be good, specially not withouth a board(maybe even wait for TRV01 for these specific marketing tatics). But I wonder how well separated (regarding this issue) OHF can be from Traversal, as the relation might become less synergetic in the future (revolution vs pragmatism). [1] yeah, according to current marketing knowledgment, we shouldn't sell the product but rather the desire of it. For desktop users it probably won't happen until TRV0. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
