HF,
What is the real problem here please?
I’d like to ask you this…What is your “real” problem here? Don’t say it is about sharing content because unfortunately I’ve “known you” on the forums for a number of years (10+) and you have always made yourself look silly the way you conduct yourself on these forums and mailing lists.
Easy talk if only Shad or Chris can moderate. Your personal pals.
Just for your information I too can moderate forums.
As Janet has mentioned to you virtually all content is publicly available.
I can't and I won't. I contribute by other means. But I do regret the fact that even 'board' members and others have to 'beg' for an updated ISO. I'm disturbed by the fact that the 'SME Server hardware and setup' is so highly appreciated and yet, nothing can be done unless an 'external' individual pitches in. It was advertised that the SME Server 'development eco systems' costs thousands of dollars a months and was top notch due to the the very advanced building scripts.
I have seen no “begging” as you put it but I can understand if there are delays because as you know all work is unpaid and done in one’s free time and given we’ve just had summer holidays I’d expect little work as the kids will be off schools and parents enjoying timeout.
It really does also go to show how little you know as there is no “external” individual but in fact a small but dedicated group of individuals as Shad mentioned.
Shame on you Shad. A real steward and/or leader/maintainer would know what's gong on and would serve a real purpose. But then again you personally know for you personally are the only one that collects the mandatory SME Server feedback notices. Wether it be the 'internet connection test' or the mandatory 'SMOLT" service that reports every single SME install to one of your (Clear OS) private servers. SMOLT is was an 'opt-in' service. You made it 'active by default' without an 'opt-out- option. Completely against international privacy rules.
Please take a moment to read this post and in particular Pfloor response from back in 2007
http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=37880.0Also, have a read of this bug:
http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=868You can see that Fedora had smolt service online so why not bring it to SME which we (the community decided we wanted) and I very much doubt it broke any privacy rules as smolt never collected any personal data/information.
One thing I do know from reading your various threads HF is you do need to publicly apologize to Shad because for as long as I have “known” you on these forums I have Shad and just like Gordon, Mitel/Charlie, e-smith; Shad has/is been a great steward and deserves more respect than you have shown.
Thanks.
