IRC: #boycottnovell @ FreeNode: July 30th, 2009

taconeit's about control, not users getting sued. we repeated that many times, but mono apologist just skip on that.Jul 30 00:00
schestowitzYesJul 30 00:00
schestowitzCause it's hard to beat up straw menJul 30 00:00

schestowitz*it's not hardJul 30 00:00
taconeapi control is not a big problem as legal control.Jul 30 00:00
taconeparolang: PAI = API (typo)=Jul 30 00:00
parolangWell, remember that mono apologists are often people who have invested (in terms of man-hours learning the system, running apps for the system, not $$$) a great deal in mono technology.  So obviously there's a natural bias.  They don't want to give up what they have already been working with.Jul 30 00:01
taconethe fact that ms felt the need to do the community promise, as worthless as it may be, is a sign they need a good rap and mono concerns are real.Jul 30 00:01
taconeparolang: nobody hates mono people here.Jul 30 00:02
parolangThe community promise isn't worthless, but it does give up control like you're saying.Jul 30 00:02
taconei should say BN is suspicious (especially on IRC) because many attacks came.Jul 30 00:02
parolangtacone: Good.  But I meant that in the sense of an explanation on why mono apologists aren't reading the arguments objectively.Jul 30 00:02

taconeparolang: Jo Shields is beginning talking with Jason (mono-nono.com) in a non hatred manner. that's good.Jul 30 00:03
schestowitztacone: IRC is IRCJul 30 00:03
schestowitzNot formalJul 30 00:03
schestowitzSomeone mailed me this 3 hours ago:Jul 30 00:03
schestowitz"Who is this guy Jo Shields? I am more concerned about his role in gettting Debian dependent on mono than i am concerned about Ubuntu. According to his website he is a sysadmin at Cambridge University... I would like to think he is honest and is just a gullible developer fan of C# and .Net..."Jul 30 00:03
schestowitz"at the beginning, when responding to the well reasoned posts by jason of mono-nono, Jo even sounded reasonable, but the more he writes, the more aggresive he becomes and the harder seems to me to consider he is honest."Jul 30 00:03
taconeobviously mono people are biased. as everyone is.Jul 30 00:03
parolangBut, the community promise pretty much traps the fs community into their specification.  Going outside of the specification becomes a risk.  This is ripe for the old embrace and extend strategy.Jul 30 00:03
schestowitz"He seems to know far too much about Microsoft internal strategy and interests, and the more he writes, the more the things he says resembles the typical "microspeak" and talking points. Aside from his disgusting and unwarranted attacks on RMS along with **"Jul 30 00:04
taconeparolang: even if ms guys were good guys, they have shareholders to report toJul 30 00:04
taconeit's not gonna be easy in any way.Jul 30 00:04
parolangschestowitz: Please make sure no one is trying to get anyone fired for their jobs.Jul 30 00:05
parolangschestowitz: It scares me that he even mentions the guys place of employment.Jul 30 00:05
taconeattacks on rms are an awfulJul 30 00:05
parolangBut Jo Shields says he's the release manager for mono on Debain (IIRC)Jul 30 00:06
taconeparolang: so ?Jul 30 00:06
taconeparolang: schestowitz has no control on his readers actionsJul 30 00:06
parolangWhat are you so-ing too?Jul 30 00:07
parolangtacone: He can endorse or encourage people's actions.Jul 30 00:07
schestowitzparolang: there are lots of people reading the site and occasionally someone even posts personal details, which I don't likeJul 30 00:07
taconejo shields is the release manager. so ?Jul 30 00:07
schestowitzOr people who get pissed off and run off doing stupid thingsJul 30 00:07
schestowitzBN is not editors+readers (whoever they are)... not more than the Guardian can be blamed if some reader read something in there and murdered his familyJul 30 00:07
parolangschestowitz: Yeah.  It would just be good to discourage the behavior wherever it seems to exist.  That's all.Jul 30 00:08
tacone+1 on discouraging foolish acts.Jul 30 00:08
parolangtacone: Oh.  The post schestowitz quoted above asked what jo shields role is in debianJul 30 00:08
taconeparolang: sorry, missed that.Jul 30 00:09
schestowitzAnother thing from a reader: "<black helicopter mode="ON">I might be totally wonkers and probably it means nothing, but something stroke me the other day and it is he wrote the word "germane" which is a word I had only read once elsewhere and on that ocassion I had to look up its meaning in a dictionary (since I am not a native english speaker), you know who was using that word?: Steve Ballmer in an interview...<black helicopter moJul 30 00:09

schestowitzparolang: ITwire did this in an articleJul 30 00:09
schestowitzparolang: yes, I know.Jul 30 00:10

parolangtacone: Kudos for linking to the Google Wave patent license.  Very informative. +1Jul 30 00:13
tacone:)Jul 30 00:13
fewashows that all the BS from MSFT blaming those confused is misplacesJul 30 00:13
fewathat MSFT purposefully makes their "promise" full of holesJul 30 00:14
parolangfewa: Well, the argument could be made that Microsoft is using the community promise to ensure that developers don't make implementations that violate the standard.Jul 30 00:15
parolangfewa: But that argument would probably only be political cover.Jul 30 00:15
fewaparolang, thats not community, that's dictaitorshipJul 30 00:15
parolangI think the ability to fork from the specification is an important freedom that the community needs to have.Jul 30 00:15
taconemaking a c# implementation is not trivialJul 30 00:15
tacone+1 on forking.Jul 30 00:16
taconethey need to calm down. is not that apache forks went anywhere.Jul 30 00:16
parolangI can imagine MS changing the specification to make it difficult to implement on free or non Windows systems.Jul 30 00:16
fewaparolang, +1 obviousJul 30 00:16

parolangtacone: hmmJul 30 00:17
fewaparolang, new version are not covered by the licenceJul 30 00:17
parolangtacone: Well, I mean a new version of the spec that's also covered by the community promise.  Especially if there is something wrong/inconveniant about the previous specification.Jul 30 00:18
