One other glaring error. You refer to me as "de-facto AOO leader". This starts off the article with a clear bias and shows poor understanding of how Apache projects work.
In particular we don't have a kind of leadership where one person speaks for the entire project, without discussion and without consensus. That is why you misrepresent things when you take one or two quotes off a mailing list, out of context, and without asking whether this expresses the will of the project
In any case, my comments on the AOO mailing lists, and indeed my comments on this article, are my own personal opinions. For anyone to suggest otherwise is inaccurate and misleading.
