At that time, they felt that the company was truly struggling with their new business model... of course, their existing culture was antithetical to the idea of the community being involved. these execs ALL saw that success lie in getting developers onboard.in a meaningful way. it was, rightly, a real pickle. i spoke at length regarding my ( and others) experiences (good and bad) in the linux trenches and always closed with the idea that although we're commited to open source, we need to pay our bills. trust is very hard to get from the community and we want real, fully functional projects with which to be involved. thanks chris.. since august 2004, they appear to have made real progress n a good direction. -- kelley g oooooooooooooooooooooooooo http://toasterz.com http://exchangekiller.com oooooooooooooooooooooooooo -- OpenGroupware.org Discussion [email protected] http://mail.opengroupware.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
