Hi again
Gary Thomas wrote:Alex,
I would very much like for you to make public clarification of your announcement, as you have done to me privately.
The things I find misleading or missing are: * This offer is not coming from the maintainers [at large] * Proceeds are to go toward test farm improvements * The CDROM contents will be available for [free] download All that was present in your text was the [seemingly] commercial plug.
If the above statements are indeed true, I think that they should be part of the public information. Even the web page mentioned in the announcement has nothing to say about them, only how to order.
Firstly, IMHO putting out a clarification as per my previous response may appear to indicate a rift between the maintainers at eCosCentric and the rest of the maintainers.
As far as I know this is not the case. There is certainly competition between Mind and eCosCentric, but that is a seperate issue. How much is your request influenced by your relationship with Mind?
If I were to make any further clarification, I would probably just reiterate:
eCosCentric, in conjunction with all the eCos maintainers employed by eCosCentric, are pleased to announce that they will be selling eCos 2.0 Beta Development CDROMs of the eCos 2.0 Beta release.
