[Opensim-users] You Assholes lost our funding!

[Ralf Haifisch]

Thom,

there are some lessons you learn if you manage companys, projects etc.

even if you e.g. reduce the headcount and that can´t be friendly - be at
least politely.

If you need to make clear words, do that - but expect your conversational
partner to get realy pissed, there are cultures that are not to happy with
to clear words.


Besides that - basing a project on CVS/SVN daily product, you need to learn
a bit about how development works.

As a Project manager working with "hot unstable code" not getting your
funding partner calm because of a one day glitch (whichever type) means, you
have not to much experience in leadership - or realy the wrong partners.

Using opensim as well includes some aspects of the lincense it uses, wich
you seem not to have read up 2 now.

personaly I think, after such an email you would get a single chance in a 4
eye-talk, after wich you will send an apology or would have been fired.  See
how friendly is opensource if you can call developer giving things for free
"assholes" and continue making your money with their work ?

Maybe even remember, that this emails are kept in various archives. Think
about the impact.  If the owner of thomking.com will try to run projects in
the 3D, and a potential customer does some research finding that style of
communication...  the problem will be no april fools joke.


Thom - learn a bit more about your business (risc acceptance is a possible
method of risc treatment from the management view, so SVN may be ok.  Learn
to teach other about your business plan, including your risc treatment plan)
- or leave it.

Don´t blame other for a lack of skills, prudence or you nervous customers.



Cheers,
Ralf

 I just found out our OpenSim-Grid-based project has lost our 
 funding because of some stunt you assholes pulled in the OpenSim 
 code.  You are despicable!  There is no possible excuse for what 
 you have done.
