Wasn't there Ubuntu's meta-bugtracker that runs on some proprietary stuff which didn't get too much love because of it? While i share the view that the social contract doesn't stop us from using proprietary software, it sure is a great to prove to people that we are able to run web servers, rsync mirrors, support forums, bug tracker, blogs and lots of other stuff with free software and do not require the help of some closed software. That's just a great way to show this stuff actually works even outside some long haired hippie students apartment. ;-) cheers, Wernfried --=20 Wernfried Haas (amne) - amne at gentoo dot org Gentoo Forums: http://forums.gentoo.org IRC: #gentoo-forums on freenode - email: forum-mods at gentoo dot org --Kj7319i9nmIyA2yE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFE1G3PK/GNBBblp4ARAjF8AJ9tnBdE0AJHspkhC3yN357plNaBqQCeOUjF A0SfU4YkZwCBEgv8zzTdhPU= =feTd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Kj7319i9nmIyA2yE-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
