 static images of individual web pages.

can you stop being an ass just for the sake of being an ass?

You can disagree with what RMS says of course, is the attitude that
makes people tired, in the sentence here above you are not criticizing
a point of you that you might not like, you are just being a smart ass
thinking wow I'm fighting Mr. Stallman what a hero.

Stop this non-sense on this list please?

Now that the blood have drained from the brain cells,

 Okay, just for the record, that would be an unmotivated public personal
 attack here. In case anyone's keeping score. Please note that I haven't
 called anyone names.

You are right, please accept my apologies for the personal attack, I
should'n have done that.

Apologies also to the list for the wreck of the thread, and in
particular to Dave which will have to reboot again the interesting
thread.

Back in the cage.

Best

Re: [guadec-list] Re-considering expectnation web service

 As far as the expectnation v. free software debate, I think we should
 have a preference for free software

I previously wrote about expectnation non being free software, well
that's not right and I have to apologize.

The software that runs Expectnation have just one user, the company
tha runs the site, which also have full rights on that sotware.
If the statment above is correct means that the company (the only one
that has a copy of the software) also _has_ the four freedoms, this
means that _it is_ free software in a trivial way.

Sorry about the noise of my previous message.

 Is expectnation then more or less as proprietary as the software
 powering Sourceforge, Launchpad, the Google or Yahoo! services? Fine
 with me,

As stated by Edd _it is proprietary_ right now.

 specially if it's good and by using it we might be helping
 Edd getting a sustainable business model and eventually opensourcing
 it.

Shouldn't that be the other way around? First the product should be
open and then Gnome should adopt it and help Edd with the business.

 GUADEC organizers need to concentrate in the event organization and
 the content and communication. This is complex enough. Developing
 conference software is out of scope. The website itself shouldn't
 bring much time nor hassle.

While for sure the event organization is complex, Gnome is all about
free software isn't it?

 if Expectnation
 settles on a business model that will accommodate our code being open
 sourced, we'd love to do that.

I guess Gnome people would love it as well and probably use the
service without any doubt.

As Jeff said it would be akward (I would say a shame instead) to use
non-Free software where Free software can
be used.

just my 0.02€
