You've said that you're uncomfortable having a private discussion about Debian issues. I respect that position. The fact remains, the conversations about the GFDL so far have private and I don't feel comfortable broadcasting them publicly until every participant has agreed that it's a good time to do that. You decided to not give yourself access to all the information available and then you've claimed that nothing has changed and that we have nothing to go on except for faith. You're drawing conclusions without all the information available. The people with more information are, in general, more optimistic than you. Perhaps their optimism stems from knowledge rather than faith. > > In fact, you told me last fall you weren't interested in having this > > information privately. > > I am not in the habit of signing NDA's for information > relevant to Debian. I see a difference between signing an NDA and respecting the privacy of a private discussion. I'm not going to sue you if they post my private email on a webpage; I'll just be disappointed. If someone tells me something in confidence, I'll ask the same when I pass this information on. Debian has a private mailing list for this, among other, reasons. As I said before, I'm pushing as hard as I can to get a public statement. I don't see what more I can do in my position. It's not position I would have chosen to be in. :-/ Regards, Mako -- Benjamin Mako Hill mako@debian.org http://mako.yukidoke.org/
