Re: Has anyone produced a board using Kicad?

Hi again,

[snip]
Frankly, some find themselves in over their heads and don't feel they
can contribute at a reasonable level, and I generally ask them to stay
and spend the time training them. At least those people have the
integrity to openly communicate, rather than those that don't answer
their email after the first week, or never deliver after making a
commitment to do their part.

I guess I don't worry too much about people who either commit to do
something and then never deliver or never contribute or get busy with
real life. Whatever, I'm just happy when people contribute.

I have a very different reason for working on free software.
I don't write free software to "create a legacy" for myself. I write
free software to solve real world problems and maybe somebody else will
find it useful. I make a significant effort to keep my ego out of the
process as much as possible. I find this approach works best and over
the years there have been many valuable contributions to the gEDA
project.

Obviously your ego is highly engaged to respond this way, as was
Stuarts, to jump in attacking suggestions on what PCB should be, and
never even mentioning gschem. Gert a grip fella, why in the hell are
you attacking me for making some constructive criticism, and responding
equally lively to Stuart's little pissy bit.

Attacking you? Huh? I was very careful in my word choice. I was
only refering to me, not you. My only point is that everybody has
their own different reasons for doing OSS/free software.

Anyways, interesting thread, but this is where I stop off as well. :)

Good luck with your project!
