Merger between AmigaOne and Pegasos dev teams

[HMetal]

An interesting solution to Amiga's development problems: merge the companies behind AmigaOne and Pegasos..

Riiiiight.  Schmidt is so paranoid of the competition that he won't even let developers working for or with Amiga sit in his precious MorphOS IRC channel as they might be "moles."  :lol:

Sorry for being off topic. But your personal insult Mr Akey was absolutely uncalled for.

Well, since this got turned around on me instead of given the proper thought, I'll expand on why I made the comments..

What is uncalled for is that I get crap because I bring up an issue which should be adressed, not shrugged off.  

What is uncalled for is calling my (factual) representation "uncalled for" yet people do that same thing to and about Amiga Inc. and everyone jumps on the bandwagon.  Do you see the pattern here?  No?  Look harder.

What is uncalled for is that I went into the supposed MorphOS "support" channel to see if AmiFTPd (and other products of my own personal development) worked under MorphOS.  I got mixed replies.  One said yes, another said it ran slowly, another said it wouldn't run at all for them under MorphOS.  The actual users and application developers (at least those who weren't getting the "camp standard" Amiga Inc. digs in) were very helpful but I couldn't continue my investigation..

What I was doing was trying to determine if it would be worth my while to investigate WHY some could run it and others couldn't as it runs fine on AmigaOS, for newbies and advanced users alike, out of the box so-to-speak.

While there were quite a few very helpful and courteous attendees, I would have expected more from the creator of MorphOS than asking me to leave simply on the basis of my association with Amiga Inc.   Amiga has never and would never ask anyone to leave our PUBLIC support channel simply based on association.   There would have to be some netiquette offense for that to happen.

Maybe instead of criticising my comments and calling them "uncalled for," you might think of being a little more encouraging and a little less suspect of developers who enter your support channel and want to develop for both solutions, no matter who they are and for whom they work.

My only question is wouldn't it be easier to just FIX the problem instead of biting the hand of the messenger?

..I shall now exit this thread after having to expand unnecessarily on my initial complaint, in hopes that it may be fixed if I should ever get the will to enter that channel again..

@GGS

Any input or test results you have regarding AmiFTPd would be most welcome.  Thank-you.

You rock! =) I am impressed for how you can present yourself after being tooken down from tons of MorphOS gurus.

It's not necessary to compliment me for being honest and factual but thanks anyways.

As always, I speak the truth, even if others do at times try and read between the lines; failing miserably in the process. :-)

Being an IRC regular, you should know what IRC netiquette is, my friend.

I'm not going to turn this into a Ralph bash-fest, but for the sake of discussion and answering the questions asked here in this topic (assuming they weren't just trolls) .. :-)

1) The only time we in our PUBLIC Amiga channels would kick/ban a user is if they are breaking long-standing IRC "rules" such as flooding, bringing on clonebots just to disrupt the channel, riding netsplits in attempt to get OP status, etc.

2) For those people saying that Ralph was right to be concerned about my presence because "private" information is being disseminated, if you are going to use IRC for discussions, that's what private and/or secure IRC channels are for.  What person or company in their right mind would discuss company secrets or private discussions in a public channel?

In any case, there's no need to elaborate on this further.  I've said my piece and there are those (in this thread and some in e-mail) willing to discuss the initial development issues/questions that I intended to discuss within, outside of that biased IRC channel.

I guess that will have to do until someone more interested in working with developers comes along, or until something else comes along to shake things up (or down).
