Re: "Center" forums restrictions

Vlad, thank you for the support. I currently also see a conflict brewing in the center. This is not unusual, but when the wider community takes sides too early (before the center has established itself), then such conflict can lead to a breach, with parts of the community taking sides and so on. Suc...

OT: Where does Rene live

I've worked in this environment for the last 25 years, I have more than enough experience with volunteer work, I dare say. Interesting background. What country/city is it (I know it is offtopic, but just out of curiosity - there are no such organizations in our town AFAIK)? I live in Vienna, Austri...

Re: "Center" forums restrictions

My point is there are many points/stages between releases. And these points should be opened for everyone who wants to commit. That is open software development. ... Yeah, surely there should be somebody authorized to accept or reject changes. My major objection was against hiding things under &quo...

Re: BlackBox Framework trademark

Trademark laws was the reason why the OpenOffice off-spin LibreOffice could not use the name "OpenOffice".

So, yes, we will have to ask Oberon Microsystems AG how they plan to proceed with this.

Re: "Center" forums restrictions

I can't imagine "linear sequence of releases", it's something unrelated to open software development. How so? If you take a look at Eclipse for instance, it is very much an OpenSource software, and we currently have release 4.3.1 there, and you can trace back through a linear sequence of ...

Re: "Center" forums restrictions

Why you think that I am suggesting such a hell? As I said: if you are not only studying but also working at a university, and I assume you work in a field related to software development, then there is no way that you can ignore basic concepts like analysis of needs and technical analysis the way y...

Re: "Center" forums restrictions

Do you have any experience with open software development? Do you have any experience with version control systems? I'm not questioning your authority - just to complete a full picture. Yes, as part of the using community, which included reporting bugs and proposing fixes and changes: Pentaho OTRS ...

Re: "Center" forums restrictions

If it is your CV, then please add it here: http://forum.blackboxframework.org/viewforum.php?f=31 Thanks. No, this is not my CV. This is an answer to a impertinent insinuation that I somehow had no experience in software development. And of course, the answer to such an ad hominem attack needs to be...

Re: Tech-support subgroup

This is the only thing you picked out of all I wrote in this post? Fascinating. The main question is not: "Who wants to be admin? Let's vote!" The main question still is: "What do we need?" OberonCore made this clear saying: The decision about main Center tasks which defines the ...

Re: "Center" forums restrictions

Reading you I am not believe that you have experience in software development. ;v) You really want to go there? I started professional software development in 1992 when I was employed at the Austrian worker's union for white collar workers (http://www.gpa-djp.at/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=GPA/P...
