Again, you're confusing (open source) donations with paying for a ready-to-roll-app.

You might allow me to compare this with real life :

Getting paid while doing a job is like being on a company's payroll. You'll do your job whilst getting paid. No offense to Gary for deciding to go that path!

Developing a complete application and then selling it is more of a self-employed way of working.

You may decide which way suits best your needs and way of life. But don't blame other people for thinking the other way around...

I will print these words of sio2 at t-shirt. I guess noone can blame me for anything after they see it.

IMHO, you don't have to burn bridges on first strike. Especially when we're standing on a construction site, where things aren't yet fully build and cements have not dried yet.

Fix the loop holes, forgive each other and move on.

I know Sio2Interactive (what's your name, dude?) hasn't done his best in winning the community's heart; but I don't want to take that personally. IMHO, we'd benefit from having him supporting our platform as much as he need us supporting his products.

...and the system will remain broken. :)


If only we could harness the energy of the wind generated by all the blovation on the subject that will occur. :D

Re: SIO2 Interactive spamming votes to get his/her applications to Extras
 

I think that's fair, but what seems to be lacking here is any recognition from SIO2 that what he did was unacceptable. He seems to think it was maemo's fault for allowing it to happen, not his for making the deliberate choice to do it.

That seems like more than a one-off 'first strike' mistake to me.

Re: SIO2 Interactive spamming votes to get his/her applications to Extras
 

Please don't make rash decisions.

I know that no apologies will come from the community; but IMHO you shouldn't make quick decisions like this based on a handful of negative comment from A COMPLETELY OPEN FORUM.

Just think it over and let each side make corrections to what was lacking on the first try.

Time will heal. Things will get better.

There is nothing wrong with paying for software. As I matter of fact I gladly paid for my first six Linux distro's to avoid having to reboot and view another Microsoft EULA. But this is sorely offtopic. The issue here is trust, and the question is can you trust a developer who exploits loopholes to sell his product not to exploit loopholes to make a profit?

Can we give the guy a second chance?

Re: SIO2 Interactive spamming votes to get his/her applications to Extras
 

Don't be an arrogant pr1ck :D He just showed us how few substance the community produced and how large the gaping holes still are in "our" QA/Extras process. And in OVI store.
We ALL should be ashamed of something like this happening - Sio2 for doing it, we for not offering better support to such a talented developer and especially Nokia for bringing up such a disastrous situation upon the commercial developers. The N900 has been available for a 100 days now, and still no real Ovi store. Just a pity or really ridicilous? And of course, NO words about this from Nokia for months.

Re: SIO2 Interactive spamming votes to get his/her applications to Extras
 

yes and your initial argument was that open source folks don't want to spend money to software at all. or at least it sounded like that.
