[belenix-discuss] Focus and healthy discussion needed (Re: Some status updates)

[Sriram Narayanan]

Some information for everybody:

1. If you are going to lose your cool and reply, please step back a
bit, and then reply a day later.
We're not on tight project deadlines, and certainly have it within us
to be civil.

2. The Belenix dev team at present have comprised of a number of
people over the years, with Moinak and myself being active devs so far
(well, I've been more a QA).

3. Let us focus on what we can do together.
We need to have a focus on our missing: Build a POSIX/SUS compliant
distro. This is going to take quite some work, and we're going to ask
questions on these lists, and we're all going to have to listen to
each other's advice. It'll be easier to do so if we remain civil and
don't burn bridges with each other.

4. Belenix representatives do not bicker and do not lose cool.
All who participate in Belenix development are Belenix representatives
as well. There has been exactly one instance in the past where I have
been tough with a member of another community, but otherwise we have a
culture of not bickering, and of not losing cool.

Let us discuss various topics, arrive at the best, and take things ahead.

If you are interested in POSIX compliance, then SchilliX and Belenix seem to be
close - closer than Illumos is. remember that Illumos insluded a non-POSIX
od(1) after a POSIX compliant and faster od implementation has been available.

See e.g.:

What "ON"-base do you use?
