- jonathanspw 2y agoGreg kurtzer is not the founder of CentOS. This is FUD he's been regurgitating ever since tricking one of the past CentOS community managers into doing a blog post. If you read the mailing list archives you'll see the truth.
- nhanlon 2y agoWell that's certainly _one_ way to tell the story, now isn't it, Jonathan.
- jonathanspw 2y agoYou can't ban me here for speaking truth like you can on reddit, can you :) Edit: also, it's literally the true version of the story. Do your own research. It's all public and logged.
- realgmk 2y agoWhy do you always take every opportunity you can to try and discredit me on this? Anytime someone mentions me, boom, there you are, in every social media, everywhere, being the first to try to discredit to me. As a spokesperson for a competing project, I'd expect a higher level of decency than spreading FUD like this. I'd be happy to discuss and debate this with you, but you weren't actually there. I tell you what, go find someone else who was actually there at that time, and I'd be happy to discuss it with them publicly.
- liamnal 2y agoGreg is not the founder of CentOS and people need to stop believing his lies. He's said this lie so much that even he believes it.
- realgmk 2y agoI don't appreciate being called a liar and I am happy to debate this with anyone else who was actually there.
