... it's been interesting. I'm trying to give everyone the best of both worlds but since I'm catering to a large user base I have to make sure to keep everyone happy.
Some people DO NOT want to do anything cloud. Some want their own cloud. Others want cloud and they want it easy.
I think part of what I'm learning is that in order to get the trust from users I'm going to either have to be around for a long time or get the thumbs up from other organizations that can vouch for my positive intentions.
For example, I want to write up a document about our commitment to Open Source but of course that takes work and I don't have a ton of time.

- analognoise 7y agoThere was a pop-up that asked for money. The language of the bar at the top gives the impression the program will go away soon unless money comes in, plus the fact that someone was willing to inject pop-ups made it very difficult to trust - what if it goes commercial and someone is willing to inject ads or malware?
