no, i do believe that. but after seeing the amount of whining about Stanco about eGovOS on this board awhile back, i can't say i'm surprised.
the schedule for the hearings are here: http://www.council.nyc.ny.us/schedule/index.cfm
what i'm saying is...instead of whining about Stanco...which obviously a lot of people in NY love to do, why didn't other groups schedule to present a case ?
i feel like every time i turn around, any mention of Stanco is surrounded by people who care more about *him* making the case for FOSS, than any care about whether his was a good case.
maybe it's just that people love to hate/blame the guy, and they love bitching about it. i guess that's it.
i don't even live in NYC, i live in SF. and from here, it looks like a bunch of little kids fighting to ride a pony. it looks ridiculous, and i'm embarrased that people like that "represent" the FOSS community.
i have no axe to grind, just tired of seeing whining about something that was pretty good.
no matter who is was that made the presentation, nothing changes that someone stood up and made a case for FOSS. it's alot better than no one doing it.
