With XFree86 going their own way and the Open Group going theirs, it is indescribably important that the XFree86 people be supported. Who knows... showing that poeple/companies are more willing to give money to a truly open source project as opposed to paying under pressure to an organization with "open" and backs proprietary standards such as Motif.... maybe we a meessage couyld be sent to TOG to shape up. Yes, this last paragraph is very wishful thinking. I also wish the open software community wielded enough clout to make this happen. Hell, I wish they wielded enough clout to start working on their own standards without company politics... now what to we do about developer personalities... cheers, Adrian -- [ adrian@ubergeeks.com -- Ubergeeks Consulting -- http://www.ubergeeks.com/ ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
