Well, I suppose I would feel less well seeing others wear a committers T-shirt when I couldn't, but even if I were a committer I wouldn't wear a committers T-shirt. It's like thumbing one's nose at all the developers who contribute, but aren't committers even if it is not met to be. Same thing goes re: a 'core' T-shirt, or any other special T-shirt. I just don't think restricted T-shirts work for open-source projects. For closed projects it is another story, but even there the only thing that is readily acceptable is a company-wide T-shirt. This is how BEST worked - *everyone* got a T-shirt, or a BEST jacket, or a BEST sweater. This is, in fact, how LucasArts works too for the most part - any employee can buy just about any T-shirt, even the ones that are made by specific sub-companies. I have two ILM T-shirts that my brother bought me, for example. There is a reason that things are done that way. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@backplane.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
