The sad part is that all that marketspeak was written by a programming geek.. what is this world coming to when even the geeks can only speek technomarketing?

"Stateless Linux" project Posted Sep 15, 2004 10:23 UTC (Wed) by hppnq (subscriber, #14462) [Link] Maybe you are joking, in which case you can ignore this comment.The comment is pointless in itself, and you are not doing Havoc justice. I am not even going to give you pointers to the numerous contributions he has made to the Open Source community. Think twice before you judge someone like that in public, if you don't want to look like a complete idiot. Have you actually read the paper?! Where exactly is the "marketspeak"? We need more people who are really good at the technical stuff and who are also able to tell others about it. (And why is it that people have decided to aim their mindless rants at RedHat all of a sudden? Spare your breath for the real thing, mate, and go bother someone else in the mean time, if you please.)

Spare your breath for the real thing, mate, and go bother someone else in the mean time, if you please.)Sorry for replying to myself, but maybe I should clear this up a bit. First off, smoogen, the above remark was not aimed directly at you. What annoys me is that the number of comments on LWN that fall in the category of ranting attacks on RedHat has risen to an alarming high, or at least so it appears to me. Is there something I missed? After the whole discussion about Fedora's (lack of) interaction with the community we now get a proposal for the community to play with and a nice document explaining this proposal; I would think this is A Good Thing (TM). Just drop your tinfoil hats for a moment, read the stuff, think about it, relax your trigger-happy mouse finger, say your favourite mantra, and then start thinking about how to word a comment if you have something to add to the discussion. I promise you I will do the same. ;-) (Apologies to anyone who is fed up with having to wade through comments that are not actually adding anything to the discussion. I am with you. I like the excellent articles here at LWN, and the comments; there are some real gems every now and then. The last thing I want to do is add noise. ;-)
"Stateless Linux" project Posted Sep 23, 2004 15:42 UTC (Thu) by job (guest, #670) [Link] So your comment was directed at me then. The "marketspeak" is what thepaper is full of. "Marketspeak" because it is indeed correct but not written in the terse technical sense we are used to, especially from Red Hat. There are no hats involved here, neither tinfoil nor red ones. That I, or anyone else, should choose not to comment on it just because it is from Havoc or Red Hat itself is something netiher of us wants, if you think about it. Obviously I read the paper since I summarized it above. Did you read my comment?
