I think there is a mis-match
Hi Jos,
where would be the mis-match ? please could you explain where&how?
Well, your email below makes it pretty clear. You talk about Karma, I do not. I don't want karma, just like everybody else here. I want to increase the visibility of people's work but that is an entirely different thing and the talk about Karma gets in the way of that. Cheers, Jos
why are you so determined to apply karma, after weeks and weeks of "great contributors" unwillingness ? And moreover mostly quality arguments - By the way, did anybody analyse them, synthesize them ?
Jos, why are you so determined to apply karma ? What is hidden behind karma ? Getting new contributors ? or What ?
OK from hide to visible, but karma is not simply "making visible" ;-)
On linkedin for ex, if somebody wants (or should I say need) to be recommended by somebody else => he is FREE to ask for it - If he feels better, that's great ! I'm not sure at all to know a great manager hiring somebody after having read these "yeah & waouh comments" - but if he (profile owner) feels better, that's ok.
BUT on linkedin, we are FREE to take off this option if it doesnt make sense for us, if we don't feel to be judged by this kind of system. Each one is FREE to choose ...
if somebody wants to see his name on a picture, instead of just being a great photographer lol, ok, => just ask somebody to take a picture of you and a president or a singer or a great geek, if it can makes you happy, just ask ... there's always a nice person who will do the picture for you, to proove you were there. Hey, we love that ;-)
in our society and enterprises, you (happily, or not) find ppl who want, wish or accept to be shown in magazines, or on TV, but very often, we forget that :
for the 1 who is talking in the light (or holding the flag), there are 150 working behind the curtains - or doing less fun things, things who need to be done (shit or quality, but no quantity) ... ppl working before and after production, to get that possible ...
That ? Acting for Free and Fun ? Or what ? What are openSUSE priorities ?
According to you ? other thread ? ok
hugs ? OK Françoise
