  1. Ransom Love's Brain Bites Again by peterdaly · · Score: 4, Interesting

    As I said in a post to the previous related slashdot discussion; Ransom Love doesn't understand Open Source PR. His mouth gets the Open Source community to hate him each time he opens it in public. Different spin on his previous "no binaries!" comment and nobody would be upset.

    Ransom Love does not understand Open Source PR, and it would be better for everyone if he were not so press-hungry. SUSE has a much better spin on essentially the same facts, and understand the Open Source community is not just a place to leech code from in order to turn a buck. SUSE understands to give/take relationship, Calera, specifically Rasom Love doesn't get it.

    Next time you read a quote from Ransom love, understand two things:
    1. He doesn't speak for his partners (SUSE/Turbo Linux in this case), even though he will make is sound like he is.
    2. He doesn't understand Open Source PR and will be needlessly sticking his foot in his mouth...that's just what he does.
