Links that I have found interesting for August 22nd:
- Chronicles of a Wandering Mind » Announcing RapidInsight as an open source project and getting slammed for it – Next think I know, I was kicked out of the mailing list by the administrator (Jim Popovitch) for “unsolicited commercial solicitation”. You can take a look at the email and judge yourself. I certainly don’t see it as such. There is well established precedence where open source projects are mentioned freely including ones by the mailing list admins. I replied to Jim’s email explaining my point of view and left it at that. As much as Netcoolusers is a “community”, it is controlled by two people afaik, and there is no mechanism for due process. They make the rules and they are the judge and the jury.
Just sigh and move on… But it didn’t end there.
** This is just crazy. Anyone with a project that betters someones use of this very expensive software should be allowed to participate in this mailing list. This has been taken out of context and he should be allowed to participate in the list and strongly encouraged to do so. **
