That is definitively a problem. Not only regarding the monetary part, but also regarding the future of CentOS. Pledges have been made, but there are no checks or redundancy of several roles. The current disapearance of Lance Davis worries me a lot. Yes, we still have a lot of competent people around, who can keep the things going from a technical point of view (Jim, Karan, Ralph etc). But what of the name (trademark?) ? What of the domain ? Will we need to change ALL of our servers to update on a new place ? Will we need to change all of our servers so it will use a new name (and not CentOS) because somewho the holder of the trademark disapears ? That things came to a point where an open letter was needed is enough to make a lot of people start thinking about the future. - -- Rodrigo Barbosa "everything looks perfect from far away" - The Postal Service "Be excellent to each other ..." - Bill & Ted (Wyld Stallyns) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQFKccs6pdyWzQ5b5ckRAgRGAKC6AravqMZKyMiTmklc8zhkvhXByACYlJBa 0yZ2E7HO2xAFBol0RfCGIA== =bPTY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
