Was it? You could have used the word 'idiot', at least it is not an insult to the feminine gender. You could have as well quoted which part of the message you didn't like. I'm taking you didn't like part 2. This was obviously a provocative statement, but it was not an insult. I still stand that the qt-projects.org domain should not be managed (directly or indirectly) by the Qt Company, there is a clear conflict of interest. Something that has been raised several times in the past (Check the mailing list archives about the captive/deceptive portal hat is/was the Qt's download page). lists.qt-projects.org has had issue for more than a month, and (suddenly) got resolved overnight. [Side note: http stopped to redirect to https, but https is still down, which means that https urls returned by search engine are broken. Whoever runs codereview.qt-project.org has access to a wildcard ssl certificate (*.qt-project.org), but it seems that whoever runs lists.qt-project.org doesn't.] As an experience, try to type "download qt" in you favorite search engine, and tell me what you get, here is my top results: https://www.qt.io/download https://www1.qt.io/offline-installers/ https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/ qt-project.org/downloads The interesting bit is that qt-project.org/downloads redirects to https://www.qt.io/download. Basically, qt-projects.org is just a facade to qt.io, I think this is not healthy. There is no public expression of the "Qt Project". Concerning, the "Qt Project Hosting Foundation", i've found: https://wiki.qt.io/Qt-contributors-summit-2014-QtCS2104_Foundation https://investors.qt.io/governance/management/ (where it is mentioned that Tuukka Turunen is a "Chairman of the Board of Directors in the Qt Project Hosting Foundation") http://website.informer.com/Cristina+Hamley+Qt+Project+Hosting+Foundation.html Chris PS: I do not hate the Qt Company, nor do I hate anyone working for them. Without license, without money, there would be no "Qt Company", and without "Qt Company", the "Qt Project" would be substantially different. As a license owner and an OSS enthusiast I am thankful to the Qt Company and to all numerous direct and indirect "Qt Project" contributors. _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
