I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't mean that as a threat: my point was that at some point, some company will be called out on their non-cooperative behavior. It just takes an enraged person and an ML post or a tweet. Since so far all those incidents successfully didn't name anyone, it will feel very unfair to the first company that gets hit by such reputational backlash. My advice was therefore that you should not wait for that to happen to engage in cooperative behavior, because you don't want to be the first company to get singled out. This kind of reputational pressure is at work all the time in the Linux Kernel project, where companies which contribute less or engage in bad behavior are routinely mentioned (sometimes in very offensive ways). I don't think we can prevent this happening in OpenStack unless cooperation stays the norm. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
