Anyway, the crux of the matter is this. I really like DC and I really think they're doing a great job with Zope. That email didn't fit with the impression I have got from DC over the past couple of years which suprised me. A lot. So much, in fact, that I wrote that mail this morning. I apologise for the tone and wording, and I hope the unsolicited mail was a one off.
We've all let a slightly nasty email slip before, I think. The hard thing is to apologize publicly, so you're showing strong character to say this. Now, I agree the community hasn't had much introduction to Brian. Brian has specifically welcomed everyone at DC to send him an email or two to get to know him, and I'm sure he would extend the same invitation to the community. In fact, with the survey he was trying to solicit feedback. Please send him an e-mail, introducing yourself and asking your questions. Shane
