In other cases, we're only hearing the ones who take the time to talk to us. So if there's a very vocal 10%... that may or may not line up with the other 90% who remain silent wondering wtf we're thinking.
You're correct though. We do need to continue to earn and maintain the community's trust. It may be coming from a .mil mentality, but my thinking has always been to earn it by action. I've said before that we need to SHOW the community the things we've been talking about since the RH announcement so that it's more than just words. But you bring up a valid point in that we need to listen as well.
To that end, help us discuss an appropriate solution for this.
With the release of CentOS 7 just around the corner, have the board members made a decision?
We have seen an overwhelming number of responses from the community members. Many of them are long time contributors who do not mind "having late-night coffee-fueled work sessions after the family's gone to bed".
Now the world is watching (between the FIFA games) how the board would handle the situation in which their idea/plan does not get support from the community.
