Anatoly, Actually you are the only / first to bring this up but as you have I will respond.
1. Even though we knew that we would be roundly criticized / chastised. Our goal was to kick-start the SVN project. There were a number of obstacles in the way (corporations with vested interest). The article was taken out-of-context as one might expect. The proof of the 'pudding is in the eating' and we are very happy at the renewed pace of SVN development by the community. 2. We have full time open source developers that are a distinct group within our company. that means that they are paid by us to develop open source (Subversion). Not doing pre-sales engagements, not developing software for the sole benefit of WAndisco but doing it for the community at large. 3. We support apache with more that just words in addition to the huge donation of paid developer time we are also a corporate sponsor of the ASF: http://www.wandisco.com/news/press-releases/wandisco-sponsors-apache-software-foundation 4. Following that article a very senior (board member) at Apache and one of the founders of the Subversion project has a working relationship with the company. 5. the statement "but I am not sure if everyone would like to hear one day that "*WANdisco wrote trac-hacks in your press releases."* is, politely speaking, far fetched. Our goal is to reinvigorate a community around Trac *NOT* destroy it. My interest in Trac hacs is simple - we are looking for talented developers to come and get paid to develop Trac full time. I hope that clears that up. - David On Tue, May 10, 2011 at 12:59 AM, anatoly techtonik <techto...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi David, > > You company reputation isn't that good - > https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/apache_subversion_to_wandisco_1 > - it is nice you realise the value of Trac, but I am not sure if everyone > would > like to hear one day that "WANdisco wrote trac-hacks" in your press > releases. > > Just my 0.02 cents. > -- > anatoly t. > > > > On Tue, May 10, 2011 at 12:41 AM, David Richards <da...@wandisco.com> > wrote: > > WANdisco is an active participant in the Apache Subversion Open Source > > project. > > We are interested in active participation in Trac.
