Dear All,
These last days, many people have expressed their opinion on JBoss mailing
lists regarding the recent removal of RW privileges to some people. Some of
these opinions made me observe that the global picture was frequently simply
ignored.
Let me simply restate the obvious: the world is not black xor white. You
don't have, on one side, the black greedy JBoss Group that has an evil plan
to secretly execute and, on the other side, a few white code-poets,
defenders of Open Source, that live of love, fresh water and who truly don't
understand why their privileges have been revoked. They know exactly why.
Some people have complained that all this noise should have been solved
privately, behind the scene. I tend to agree. In fact, until now, it always
had. We had business discussions, each side trying to convince the other,
putting pressure on the other side. Business as usual. The recent posting on
JBoss ML from people "who do not understand?!? How is that possible?!?
Damned! Me, who never had a bad thinking in my all life!?! Pleease, simply
allow me to express my art!" is just a way to try to use the "community"
against the evil JBoss Group and its army of slaves.
Really, if you love this kind of stories, you'd better buy the "Holā"
magazine, it is much deeper, plus you get some nice pictures as well. If you
don't like this kind of stories, fair enough, ignore them as it is just the
visible part of an iceberg: a business disagreement. But remember: the
disagreement is on both side, not just JBoss Group doing evil business and
the other side defending Virgin Open Source. That may be the image some
people would like to give. And then there is reality.
And until now, it seems that the JBoss Group has always defended the
interests of the JBoss community while many other OSS projects have died in
the meantime. While would that change?
Go back to code, go back to business.
This will be my unique post on this topic.
Regards,
Sacha
P.S.: I propose to free JBoss-user and JBoss-dev ML from this topic. If you
want to talk about it, let's move that to the online forums at
