schestowitz | oiaohm_: yes, The Vista7+XP news is amusing | Apr 26 07:35 |
schestowitz | To say the least | Apr 26 07:35 |
schestowitz | oiaohm_: don't mention Vista8 yet | Apr 26 07:35 |
schestowitz | They want people to talk about it when Vista7 disappoints | Apr 26 07:35 |

schestowitz | Why? | Apr 26 09:06 |
schestowitz | What's in it for us? | Apr 26 09:06 |
oiaohm_ | Both will be competing for the server market. Both support Linux. Mysql and postgresql both could end up better than ever. | Apr 26 09:08 |
oiaohm_ | If it spreeds into office suits it will be interesting. | Apr 26 09:08 |
oiaohm_ | Its a little bit like KDE and Gnome neither would be as far advanced to day if they did not have the other one to compete with. | Apr 26 09:09 |
oiaohm_ | Competition drives development at way faster rates. | Apr 26 09:09 |
oiaohm_ | Also should have the nice effect of flooding network with news not about Microsoft. | Apr 26 09:14 |

oiaohm_ | Samba with ADS support would the the one key stone to allow IBM and Orcale to go into over drive on MS. | Apr 26 09:42 |
schestowitz | Could MS turn the table on Samba? | Apr 26 09:47 |
oiaohm_ | Nop | Apr 26 09:48 |
oiaohm_ | MS attacking samba opens up a big can of worms. | Apr 26 09:48 |
oiaohm_ | Very big can of worms. Attacking the group responsable for quality control of the SMB protocal would be really stupid. | Apr 26 09:49 |
oiaohm_ | List of information samba could publish on MS protocal defects between versions is a mountain. | Apr 26 09:50 |
oiaohm_ | Pure techical attack on there complete quality of production not a good thing to set off. | Apr 26 09:50 |
oiaohm_ | Also samba has a direct blood line to the start of the SMB protocal. | Apr 26 09:52 |
oiaohm_ | MS does not. | Apr 26 09:52 |
oiaohm_ | Part of the reason why MS lost in the EU court and had to give up specs. | Apr 26 09:53 |
schestowitz | OK | Apr 26 10:02 |
oiaohm_ | Before samba there was another group that was the offical care takers of the protcals that make up MS networking. | Apr 26 10:04 |
oiaohm_ | Samba took that role over. | Apr 26 10:05 |
oiaohm_ | Yes the standard body have to reverse eng the protocal they are ment to be the standard body for due to one company being rogue should not happen. | Apr 26 10:05 |
oiaohm_ | Samba is one of those rare projects were it wise for MS to leave well alone. | Apr 26 10:09 |

The BBC on the other hand, believes it was fair and balanced." http://torrentfreak.com/the-bbc... | Apr 26 14:49 |

schestowitz | ushimitsudoki: are we talking about Mono or Microsoft? :-) | Apr 26 15:43 |
schestowitz | It's also how they corrupt procurement/tenders at Microsoft. They know people in the administration. Sometimes they are former Softies... | Apr 26 15:43 |
ushimitsudoki | I'm talking about the mono-advocates. It is too late to complain about Banshee getting in after the fact - I'd like to find out where to start raising concerns now, before the battle is lost | Apr 26 15:44 |
schestowitz | Remember Mono defenders like Jeff Waugh, who used to WORK for Canonical. | Apr 26 15:44 |
schestowitz | ushimitsudoki: yes, I know. I mailed MarkS about it. He got it. | Apr 26 15:44 |
ushimitsudoki | good, please share the information. if the proposal process is open for comments, I might try to prepare some commentary on keeping Banshee out by default. | Apr 26 15:45 |
schestowitz | Is there anything formal? | Apr 26 15:45 |
schestowitz | I thought it was brainstorm and stuff like that. | Apr 26 15:45 |
schestowitz | The Monovell religion. http://www.youtube.com/wa... | Apr 26 15:46 |
ushimitsudoki | No. Brainstorm is user-submitted ideas. There is developer-level / MOTU / something process going on as well, but I don't know the details. | Apr 26 15:46 |
ushimitsudoki | That dude directhex is a big mover for mono. from his blog: "I have a proposal which I’m going to make to the Desktop team at Ubuntu Developer Summit in May, which will save six precious megabytes." | Apr 26 15:47 |
ushimitsudoki | So, I have the impression that after May it might be too late. | Apr 26 15:47 |

Omar87 | schestowitz: I think the best thing we can do is write an open letter to Mark Shuttleworth telling him to reconsider the inclusion of Mono in Ubuntu. | Apr 26 15:57 |
Omar87 | schestowitz: We can even name it something like: "Ubuntu is such a great distribution, and it would be even greater without Mono!" | Apr 26 15:59 |
schestowitz | Omar87: would it be more effective than a bunch of raving Mono fans? | Apr 26 16:07 |
schestowitz | Maybe more posts with information are better use of time? | Apr 26 16:08 |
schestowitz | Omar87: if you or ushimitsudoki write a letter that gets the point across, I'd post it of course | Apr 26 16:08 |
ushimitsudoki | I have to see if I can put something together. It is important to put together a good argument, because the mono-promoters will be sure to raise issues with it | Apr 26 16:11 |
Omar87 | ushimitsudoki: Absolutely. Which is why I'd recommend it to be a collaborative work with a group of contributors. | Apr 26 16:23 |
schestowitz | ushimitsudoki: +1 | Apr 26 16:24 |
