Like kbensch I have servers in a few countries and could lend a hand with site hosting / mirror if needed. But it sounds like this would not stop the war of madness that's going on in the background which is becoming very public now!
While some of the Linux community call Contribs “lame” it's the best Linux based OS on the planet today for small business? Most small business owners don't have the time to become Linux Guru's and to go down the Microsoft path (very sorry for using the M word here) is a costly and not always a wise move?
Having said all that Silly Billy will be loving all this. No need to divide and concur here, it’s self motivated! PLEASE PLEASE remove the ego’s and sit down and talk PLEASE! This OS, Dev Leaders and greater Contribs community have something money can’t buy.
1. Common Goal
2. A great Global community Base
3. Still huge motivation after years of ups and downs
4. BEST Linux Distro for the target market.
5. A Great Non Microsoft Product
6. Years of knowledge for all on this site
7. Still Lycoris support where possible (thank you)
I could go on all night with the positives? The fact that there is this level of fighting tells me there are still lots of passion and drive in the dev leader to continue going forward. It’s a crying shame the dev leaders have come to this and great loss for the global community if we don’t continue to go forward with the Contribs Project as one group.
So what do we need to do? Is the fighting a necessary process to go forward, is it a time and money thing for the dev leaders? Where is the support needed to resolve the current issue? I think I speak for the many who like me have used E-Smith, Mitel, Contribs over the years and have given back where possible and would help even more in what ever way possible to keep this great Linux Project and so helpful community together and going forward. Did I mention the PLEASE PLEASE don’t fight bit? If not PLEASE PLEASE don’t fight.
