This particular email though looks like some form of internal circular or group message. No response needed for this one I think. [01:58] schestowitz Hi Roy, [01:58] schestowitz * Your message below was misfiled by an automated rule, apologies for the late response * [01:58] schestowitz Yes, you're quite right to point out that xxxx was also successfully recruited! [01:58] schestowitz Hi Roy, [01:58] schestowitz * Your message below was misfiled by an automated rule, apologies for the late response * [01:58] schestowitz Some very interesting points that you raise below. [01:58] schestowitz You're quite right that as an Open Source inspired company our ethos has very much been about championing the FOSS movement. We seek to use FOSS first wherever possible and to do our best to follow our mission of helping other organisations, large and small, to make the most of the opportunities and freedom that come from adopting it. [01:58] schestowitz These fundamental principles will not change! [01:58] schestowitz However, as a commercial organisation, we have also got to operate in the real world, where technological advances and business priorities must also be considered. We are also a small organisation. We do not have unlimited resource in order to always build out and maintain our own solutions. This would stop us from being able to service our customers. We cannot be a 'hobbyist' organisation and survive under the commercial pressures we experience. As [01:58] schestowitz you may know, we already operate with very low cost margins and staffing. [01:58] schestowitz We also need to consider that FOSS operates in conjunction with proprietary software. To offer compatible technical skills, we also need to be familiar with those technologies so that we can provide solutions that match what our customers need. [01:58] schestowitz Therefore, we are sometimes going to be forced to make difficult choices between efficiency & value for money and our FOSS preferences. [01:58] schestowitz Simon and I are currently developing a broader technical strategy to take us onto the next stage of development for xxxx. I would be very happy to welcome your view and input on that when we have something that is shareable for review? As somebody who is clearly passionate about the space we're in and aware of the data and security questions it brings, it would be great to have your thoughts! [01:58] schestowitz Many thanks for sharing your insight. [01:58] schestowitz Kind regards, [01:58] schestowitz xxxx [01:58] schestowitz Hi Roy, [01:58] schestowitz * Your message below was misfiled by an automated rule, apologies for the late response * [01:58] schestowitz I think I already responded to this one (or a xxxx message) at the time before it got filed? [01:58] schestowitz Anyway, I believe this was sorted. [01:58] schestowitz That's the last of them.

[01:59] schestowitz " [01:59] schestowitz Permalink [01:59] schestowitz both have the same vibe, @peer of eyes, and while i admire the audacity and nyah nyah lookit i can do and you cant stance of the overly-privileged social bully, ive seen many eat dirt as a result. ill be glad to see the day where such attitudes (and application) become antiquities - but were running short on time, so chopchop ;) [01:59] schestowitz re the acoustics - zactly. i miss that a lot in a few places, not only fb, but i boggle at the idea that people may use fb (or,perhaps, any social media) as their main news source, esp concerning politics. Once upon a time one could check news veracity by the comments of the people actually involved/most affected and posting. Now it seems that were lucky to be able to read them at all. But we do have at our fingertips a variety of sources of [01:59] schestowitz somewhat less insane reputation, heres hoping we keep encouraging/defending them. [01:59] schestowitz @lambjams@pluspora.com its fkn insidious isnt it? hmmi dunno if its best to refer to fb and such blobby monsters as sentient entities or notit or they? #zuckbot. An amusing aside: #Bunnings included a space for Email Address on their rona manual checkin slips :)) im sure it was intended as contact info for those that dont have a mobile and just happened to boost their mailing list numbers and info if folk didnt realise it wasnt ● Feb 24 [02:00] schestowitz compulsory to give.

[09:06] schestowitz "@Clarice Boomshakalaka Bouvier yeah Bunnings here was giving the option of getting receipt via email? Except I cant remember - they wanted a bunch of info besides just email in order to do that. I recall in the US at some point I gave one of the companies that did credit card transactions my email - it was kinda nice because after that, I would get email receipts from every place that used their equipment instead of having to hand it out [09:06] schestowitz individually. On the other hand, I think they were sharing customer information with everyone who used their devices."
