We have Costin :)
Yes !
Unless becoming a TLP gives us an instant advantage or will change some
things that really do need to change, is it worth the time and effort. IMHO
becoming a TLP should have a really good reason, political leverage is a
reason, is it validated?
One of our big barriers today is the licensing issue, but that is still in
the "being resolved" mode. There was an email to all committers yesterday
saying to not turn things upside down quite yet, as they want to try to
address the issue. Quoted:
" For now, don't worry about taking any harsh measures to deal
with third-party code. Ensure you're following their licenses, of
course, but a formal policy will be drafted up and discussed."
For me, my vote would be 0. Cause at present moment, unless I worked for an
organization that paid me to get involved in all the politics of a PMC, I
just want to write code, not push papers around.
I was thinking like that. And then stuff happens (the authors tag thing and the binaries thing), and I then realize maybe it would be better to do things differently :(
Well what will happen to commiters or projects where the authors tag are not removed ?
