Not sure I agree with some parts of it...<br /><br />But as for KDE, I think that the vision of its future, and the developers who created that vision are certainly at State 4. Unfortunately, that doesn't entirely apply to the levels of its an community that mostly composed of users. They still exhibit most of the features of State 3. Attitudes like hostility towards competitors (both FOSS and proprietary) and a superiority complex that borders on evangelism are commonly present in online interactions.<br /><br />This is unfortunate, but a greater awareness of it will lead it to diminish over time. It's not hard to realize that we co-exist in the same world, and we will all experience greater growth and success if we adopt a cooperative, positive attitude towards each other. <br /><br />It will be interesting to see KDE evolve as it engages in more collaborative interactions in the future (such as the Desktop Summit), and truly moves into State 4.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486854101310088009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136576136384847049.post-62585574792540279862009-10-16T15:27:17.762+02:002009-10-16T15:27:17.762+02:00@Jonas: This person will be one of the happiest pe...@Jonas: This person will be one of the happiest people in the world.
