- zokier 9y agoInteresting tidbit about the meta here: ------ > > One thing has definitely changed: the last time LWN wrote a critical piece about the project, we had some AOOers drop by to repeatedly complain about what a bunch of meanies we all were for criticizing them instead of volunteering to help them out. This time? Crickets... > ...or they are not LWN subscribers, and nobody posted a SubscriberLink somewhere they could find yet. > Last year I had posted a SubscriberLink to a LWN article about AOO to HN; I'm doing it again right now, so if they read HN and my post reaches the front page there, we might be able to see them here again. ------- I'm not sure if HN is really supposed to be used like that..
- db48x 9y agoHN is not supposed to be used to foster discussion of interesting topics by people interested in them?
- mindcrime 9y agoLast year I had posted a SubscriberLink to a LWN article about AOO to HN; I'm doing it again right now, so if they read HN and my post reaches the front page there, we might be able to see them here again. Or maybe we're tired of wasting our time on this public drama, none of which - at the end of the day - helps get any software shipped. I'm just sad that I don't personally have more cycles free to contribute to AOO. I have a bunch of stuff I want to work on, but my life is so chaotic right now that it doesn't happen. So I guess I share in the blame for the lack of AOO progress. I wish I had something more to tell you guys, but it's a project that's driven pretty much 100% by volunteers these days, and those volunteers do what they can while maintaining their day jobs, etc.
