Well, this is going to be a can of worms :) I expect people will be evenly= =20 split between the "we can do what we want to do" and "we need rules" camps.= =20 So I will throw in an extreme example - what if a dev was posting racist=20 literature to news groups from their gentoo email address? What if some=20 random person on the internet told you to f**k off? How would your feelings= =20 change if they were a redhat employee and sent that email direct from redha= t,=20 rather than being a random? When you act as a gentoo developer, with your=20 gentoo email address, then people are going to assume that you represent=20 gentoo. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
