Re: Mambo Open Source Development Team - Letter to the community - Discussion

Re: Mambo Open Source Development Team - Letter to the community - Discussion

I could probably come up with a few biblical quotes that are quite apt but I do have ethics and I do wholeheartedly support the open source community so to suggest otherwise... well I will just turn the other cheek and end the discussion here.

Re: Mambo Open Source Development Team - Letter to the community - Discussion

Look I agree with everything you say however this is not about trying to resurrect the name. It is about making people accountable for their actions. They do not deserve to get recognition for a product that was developed by others to what it is today, and making the real trade mark owner aware of t...

Re: Mambo Open Source Development Team - Letter to the community - Discussion

Yes there are a lot of good people on OSM. The other mob are using statistics (e.g. 40K plus users) in all their spin doctoring press releases, and I just returned to the dark side to see if they had deleted me.

In keeping with the music theme and hence its heritage maybe Rumba. But this is through my liking of Bundy (the rum). Or OpenMambo or MOS or MambOS or EagleCMS or .... really it does not matter as long as it survives as an example of the true Open Source CMS

Re: Mambo Open Source Development Team - Letter to the community - Discussion

Let me guess? The bearded one...Derryn Hinch! Yes a man that makes outlandish statements in the media to garner coverage for his cause.... a bit like what is happening.

Wow... how a few days can change the landscape. I was at a forum in Hobart three weeks ago singing the praises of Open Source and in particular the best CMS on the planet, which was later verified by LinuxWorld. I was also particularly proud that the original developer of the product was Australian....
