there are some lessons you learn if you manage companys, projects etc.<br>
<br>
even if you e.g. reduce the headcount and that can´t be friendly - be at<br>
least politely.<br>
<br>
If you need to make clear words, do that - but expect your conversational<br>
partner to get realy pissed, there are cultures that are not to happy with<br>
to clear words.<br>
<br>
<br>
Besides that - basing a project on CVS/SVN daily product, you need to learn<br>
a bit about how development works.<br>
<br>
As a Project manager working with "hot unstable code" not getting your<br>
funding partner calm because of a one day glitch (whichever type) means, you<br>
have not to much experience in leadership - or realy the wrong partners.<br>
<br>
Using opensim as well includes some aspects of the lincense it uses, wich<br>
you seem not to have read up 2 now.<br>
<br>
personaly I think, after such an email you would get a single chance in a 4<br>
eye-talk, after wich you will send an apology or would have been fired. See<br>
how friendly is opensource if you can call developer giving things for free<br>
"assholes" and continue making your money with their work ?<br>
<br>
Maybe even remember, that this emails are kept in various archives. Think<br>
about the impact. If the owner of <a href="http://thomking.com" target="_blank">thomking.com</a> will try to run projects in<br>
the 3D, and a potential customer does some research finding that style of<br>
communication... the problem will be no april fools joke.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thom - learn a bit more about your business (risc acceptance is a possible<br>
method of risc treatment from the management view, so SVN may be ok. Learn<br>
to teach other about your business plan, including your risc treatment plan)<br>
- or leave it.<br>
<br>
Don´t blame other for a lack of skills, prudence or you nervous customers.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Ralf<br>

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