schestowitzxxx are indeed a client. This particular email though looks like some form of internal circular or group message. No response needed for this one I think.Feb 24 01:58
schestowitzHi Roy,Feb 24 01:58
schestowitz* Your message below was misfiled by an automated rule, apologies for the late response *Feb 24 01:58
schestowitzYes, you're quite right to point out that xxxx was also successfully recruited!Feb 24 01:58
schestowitzHi Roy,Feb 24 01:58
schestowitz* Your message below was misfiled by an automated rule, apologies for the late response *Feb 24 01:58
schestowitzSome very interesting points that you raise below.Feb 24 01:58
schestowitzYou're quite right that as an Open Source inspired company our ethos has very much been about championing the FOSS movement. We seek to use FOSS first wherever possible and to do our best to follow our mission of helping other organisations, large and small, to make the most of the opportunities and freedom that come from adopting it.Feb 24 01:58
schestowitzThese fundamental principles will not change!Feb 24 01:58
schestowitzHowever, as a commercial organisation, we have also got to operate in the real world, where technological advances and business priorities must also be considered. We are also a small organisation. We do not have unlimited resource in order to always build out and maintain our own solutions. This would stop us from being able to service our customers. We cannot be a 'hobbyist' organisation and survive under the commercial pressures we experience. As Feb 24 01:58
schestowitzyou may know, we already operate with very low cost margins and staffing.Feb 24 01:58
schestowitzWe also need to consider that FOSS operates in conjunction with proprietary software. To offer compatible technical skills, we also need to be familiar with those technologies so that we can provide solutions that match what our customers need.Feb 24 01:58
schestowitzTherefore, we are sometimes going to be forced to make difficult choices between efficiency & value for money and our FOSS preferences.Feb 24 01:58
schestowitzSimon and I are currently developing a broader technical strategy to take us onto the next stage of development for xxxx. I would be very happy to welcome your view and input on that when we have something that is shareable for review? As somebody who is clearly passionate about the space we're in and aware of the data and security questions it brings, it would be great to have your thoughts!Feb 24 01:58
schestowitzMany thanks for sharing your insight.Feb 24 01:58
schestowitzKind regards,Feb 24 01:58

schestowitzI think I already responded to this one (or a xxxx message) at the time before it got filed?Feb 24 01:58
schestowitzAnyway, I believe this was sorted.Feb 24 01:58
schestowitzThat's the last of them.Feb 24 01:58

schestowitzboth have the same vibe, @peer of eyes, and while i admire the audacity and “nyah nyah lookit i can do and you cant” stance of the overly-privileged social bully, i’ve seen many eat dirt as a result. i’ll be glad to see the day where such attitudes (and application) become antiquities - but we’re running short on time, so chopchop ;)Feb 24 01:59
schestowitzre the acoustics - zactly. i miss that a lot in a few places, not only fb, but i boggle at the idea that people may use fb (or,perhaps, any social media) as their main news source, esp concerning politics. Once upon a time one could check news veracity by the comments of the people actually involved/most affected and posting. Now it seems that we’re lucky to be able to read them at all. But we do have at our fingertips a variety of sources of Feb 24 01:59
schestowitzsomewhat less insane reputation, here’s hoping we keep encouraging/defending them.Feb 24 01:59
schestowitz@lambjams@pluspora.com it’s fkn insidious isnt it? hmm…i dunno if it’s best to refer to fb and such blobby monsters as sentient entities or not…it or they? #zuckbot. An amusing aside: #Bunnings included a space for Email Address on their rona manual checkin slips :)) i’m sure it was intended as contact info for those that dont have a mobile and just happened to boost their mailing list numbers and info if folk didn’t realise it wasnt Feb 24 01:59
schestowitzcompulsory to give. Name, a phone number is all ausgov wanted of the mobileless. Pity the poor data-entry people. "Mike Buhloody Mouse again…"Feb 24 02:00

schestowitz"@Clarice Boomshakalaka Bouvier yeah… Bunnings here was giving the option of getting receipt via email? Except I can’t remember - they wanted a bunch of info besides just email in order to do that. I recall in the US at some point I gave one of the companies that did credit card transactions my email - it was kinda nice because after that, I would get email receipts from every place that used their equipment instead of having to hand it out Feb 24 09:06
