Ian Murdock: Debian "Missing a Big Opportunity"

Posted by Hemos on from the tsk-tsk-tsk dept.

Natester writes "While Debian struggles to get its next release (Etch) out the door, the project's founder, Ian Murdock, has spoken out about politics, the lack of firm leadership, and Ubuntu's meteoric rise in prominence. Murdock believes that Debian is "process run amok" — nobody feels empowered to make decisions, leading to the sluggish rate of progress."

  1. What a big baby! by guysmilee · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This guy is a big baby... he basically just seems to say ... "Booo hooo no body listens to me. At a big company I would be the boss and they'd have to listen. Boo hoo!".

    I bet you 5 to 1 he's working for a big corporation within the week and the debian community will continue on without him.

    This kind of crying makes me believe in the old saying: "How much effect will you have on this company when you leave? About as much effect as a fist leaving a bucket of water!"

    All hail Debian! All hail the future!
