10 Ways to Kill Your Community: Josh Berkus

• Be Silent
• Document Nothing
• Stop outside commits
• Obfuscate Governance
• Hold closed meetings
• Legalese
• Encourage Poisonous People
• Make Tools Difficult
• Change Licenses

 "In many ways we’ve all done all of these things"

 Well, in many ways you are still doing this kind of things:

- Indiana name dession

- Last submited CIFS server

- The whole Indiana thing ofc

- To consider even remotly to put opensolaris under two licenses

…

I wish i could truely belive you are going to change the path. Atm this f*cking politics are the major show stoper for me to get involved.

I think i read somewhere Mandriva considers upgrades between releases the bigest issue in linux atm. You have the tool but dont push it to be usefull with your new technology (ZFS/Zones).

Hack. People need to lose the thing they love the most before realise that it was important to them.

ps: maybe im at the tech days in frankfurt on 3. dez (germany) 

Starting post for a new categorie, it realy deserv one of its own…

LEDs  : Why does people think a glowing led is needed in every device, being on all the time?! The trend goes to more intense ones, thats light polution to me. Ill wonder how big the impact on power consume/batterie life is.

Captchas : I cant read them and it seems to get worse. The audio captchas are not realy a help since it seems like you realy need to be blind to understand them.
