I think Bluepoint looks out to prove itself to be the pre-eminent Linux
company in the country. Their web site says as much. I think Engels is
associating PLUG with Q-Linux, which he rightly sees as a competitor to
him. But PLUG ain't Q-Linux.
I for one am glad Q-Linux has taken the trouble to host all these neat-o
mailing lists, since I've *never* given anything to Q-Linux and in spite
of all the flyers they sent to us [Mozcom] we're not gonna hire 'em to do
training. =)
The way *I* see it, Bluepoint and Company believe they have enough
expertise in-house to NOT deal with PLUG, and more importantly, with all
the trouble they've taken to line up Important Characters on their board,
they mean serious business! but PLUG isn't about business. At least for me
it isn't.
When money (and ego) become involved in any enterprise, things get ugly.
And I believe there's a lot of ego and probably money in there somewhere.
Definitely lots of self-interest, that goes without saying.
