Re: [K12OSN] perhaps a radical idea

Just curious, at the moment, the "we that works on k12ltsp" is who?? Is it just Eric, just Eric and another person? Or is it 3-4 dozen people working specifically on the k12ltsp distro? Because IMHO, if I, personally, aren't helping with any of the work of actually creating working isos, rpm updates, documentation, etc.., I'm not going to be suggesting what "we" should do.

At the moment AFAIK it is just Eric, which is something that I would like to see change, so I am suggesting "we" in order to shame more people into helping out where it is needed. ;) Seriously though, the active members of this list do make up the community that uses and to at least some extent supports this project, and discussion about where the project should be headed should, imho, be done publicly with the community's input. So in the context that I am talking about about discussion, which will hopefully spur people to actual development and collaboration.


Ah, you beat me to it, I was going to reply to my own post.


I didn't and don't want to discourage all discussion, because this list is a good source of information and ideas, stop the discussion, stop the ideas, and that's not any good for any of us. I guess my analogy for this would be, since I'm a mechanical engineer by degree, is that if I'm just watching someone build a racecar, I'd never offer a suggestion. If I'm working on the car, then I'd have suggestions, with reasons, and a course of action on how I was going to work to get us there. Plus K12LTSP - free software, it's tough to offer suggestions when it's damn good right now, and free. On the other hand, I don't work on it, but one of my school's student management systems *cough* Skyward, I offer them all the suggestions they don't want to hear, since my district pays a fortune for that software, so I'm all over them like a fat kid on a cupcake. Hmmmm.... cupcakes..... :-)

So, just my 2 cents.
