Nathan does bring a refreshing view. I don't believe any of the team is a starving struggling dev or I hope not anyway ;). But I think the intention was to add more resources to a project that many people feel strongly about. One thing is for sure, RedHat, JBoss and other groups would not have gotten to where they are without financial support. I'm not sure what the answer is to all of this, but so far we have had lots of support from groups who have donated massive amounts of time to testing on their dedicated servers. It's a good thread and its nice to know that the community still feels like chipping in ;). cheers!

Morning, My view of this conversation, while well intentioned, feels misguided. We have plenty of choices and opportunities to not only make money, but a variety of things and places to spend it. There isn't a shortage of that. However, this project represents the efforts of people doing something because they really WANT to do it - not because they HAVE to do it. That isn't something that we have the opportunity to appreciate, much less enjoy participating in, very often. It's unique, fresh, and visionary - in the sense that it is NOT something that anyone is compelled to or expected to contribute to if they're not comfortable or able to do so. In short, when the time comes that the project needs certain resources to continue, then I think they will be forthcoming - but let us not try to create solutions for problems that don't exist yet, and hopefully won't. I'm extremely grateful for this whole Red5 experince - it's been very educational and enlightening for me personally - it's quite exciting working with these things, being creative, and doing something novel with lots of other like minded people. A big THANK YOU to everyone! =) Nathan On Fri, 27 Apr 2007, Lenny Sorey wrote: > Well, > > If no one else says anything, I will start it off. > > I am in for $50 and will volunteer to setup a separate server for testing > here > for those folks who run Windows / Tomcat. > > I can keep the server updated with the latest from the Trunk for testing if > that will help. > > Also, if someone needs a place to test something where it needs testing from > many sources (users) > I can also make arrangements for that as well. > > Would be nice if those folks who runs other operating systems (i.e. > different flavors > of Linux) and of course you Mac folks, could do the same.
