Dear Maintainers,
I am made unclear about the policy of the maintainers to commercial
postings to eCos discuss due to the posting yesterday by John Dallaway
where I believe he is using his maintainer position to post or gather
information of a commercial nature for his company's benefit.
Previously, the guidelines stated that such postings should contain
[COMMERCIAL] in the subject to alert subscribers to the nature of the
content.
If this is not a commercial post, unfortunately his posting was not
clear as to the nature, reasoning and backing of this research. I would
be most interested to see laid open what development plans the ecos
maintainers may have for host tool development, as has been strongly
advocated in the past. I would also enquire as to why the results are
not being made public for the benefit of the community.
However, if this is a commercial post, then I would like to ask how the
policy regarding commercial postings has changed. In addition, if John
is conducting this survey for the benefit of his company, I would like
to point out to him and you that I believe the survey does not comply
fully to either the Companies Act 2006 or the Data Protection Act 1998.
I would also like further clarification regarding netiquette and
commercial postings on ecos-discuss in this regard.
Sincerely
-- Alex Schuilenburg
