I’ve noted a few links about an individual dev. on the gimp who is wreaking havoc for them. Talk about a crank!
I’ve found the best way to deal with issues like this is offlist. However, if this kind of thing persists (which I haven’t had to deal with), then I think the Gimp folks are right in banning her. If she has become such a problem that it is hurting the project and destroying their image, they have tried to work with this person, and she takes no direction, then you guys have to cut her. I think though it should be decided by a consensus in the lead/core developers though, as this should ONLY be a last resort.
So many prayers going to ppl. in NOLA right now.
Whoa, another horrible event in Iraq with over 840 dead from a panic and stampede!!!

Links spelunking!
I’m starting to think that putting energy and promotion into GNOME Office and KOffice might be a better use of the Open Source communities energies rather than blankly supporting OpenOffice.org. My judgment on the subject is still up in the air, but I can’t help but think how basically all the feedback I receive about OO.o points to the high barrier process. I would go so far as to say that closed source development and very high barrier social participation project development are not that much different.
Hmmm…do I want to take this to the next level? I’m still not sure. Anyhow, I’m emerging gnome office apps now. And, I’m going for a test run with abiword.
Checked out Gopets today. I see there are 85327 members now! Whoa! My friends at Gopets will be happy that I’m writing some about the company in a new essay about social network services. Positive!
Aha, to get Chinese characters to work:
emerge media-fonts/arphicfonts
Are you a connector. I think it is my mission.
I’m hot on the trail of PC Baang’s in San Francisco. Whoa, SF Games group — I’m not really into card or board games, but sure, why not!
