I didn't take your original message as that you looked at one being more important than the other, but merely that you pointed out all the reasons of how Command Prompt helps the community and how it should basically *show a little love* in return. There are MANY companies (too many to list...and the techdocs site hardly covers them all) but if giving props to companies that provide support to the community in IRC, mailing lists, etc... the press release would just be a bunch of names of companies and individuals. So, I don't see where those points were going. > If you have the sum of commercial interests providing for a large > portion of the code being developed into the community, it makes sense > that the community in return would acknowledge and show appreciation > for; as the PostgreSQL normally does, the existence of the commercial > support that goes into said community. > I don't see a problem mentioning commercial companies that generate code to the community project. That makes perfect sense. If an entity (corporation) or an individual they should get the same type of appreciation. However, if an individual builds plugin xyz and keeps it for themselves (proprietary), I don't see where the obligation of the community is to mention such plugin in their press release. (but mentioning the individuals/entities that donated code to the community project should be mentioned for obvious reasons). -Robby -- /*************************************** * Robby Russell | Owner.Developer.Geek * PLANET ARGON | www.planetargon.com * Portland, OR | robby@planetargon.com * 503.351.4730 | blog.planetargon.com * PHP/PostgreSQL Hosting & Development ****************************************/
