Not *almost*, I'm indeed asking developers who think free software matters to lower that bar. It's an ecological approach to technology. In a sustainable model you don't want to depend on out-of-control or poorly available resources. Open source puts the resources in the people hands, so if you want to rely on your own resources you will want to reduce your dependencies. Think power. If you want to use your own solar power you'll have to reduce your power consumption. That's sustainability. --strk; Free GIS & Flash consultant/developer () ASCII Ribbon Campaign http://foo.keybit.net/~strk/services.html /\ Keep it simple! _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
