Ken McD commented on Roger Matthews's blog post 'Repairing our Joomla Community - Avoiding the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse'
@Justin The biggest problem with the Joomla project is that it is run by coder-geeks. They have a very self-absorbed narrow view of the world. Business people are the enemy. Marketing and PR people are beneath them. Empathy is not a trait of the…

Ken McD commented on Amy Stephen's blog post 'Joomla Drama: JCM, Censorship, Bans, nooku, and Hope for Leadership'
  OK, I have read all nine pages of this . . .  . . . and I would still like to know when and where I can read these two Nooku articles. Here on ATAAW would be nice. :-)

Ken McD commented on Leo Lammerink's blog post 'Wrong techniques to obfuscate code ?'

Ken McD commented on Amy Stephen's blog post 'JED Council in the upcoming Directory Guideline Discussion and Terms of Use'
Some questions come to mind . . . - What problems are going to be solved by this new JED Council? - What are the benefits to the Joomla world? - How is this not going to be just another stifling layer of bureaucracy? - Why should any casual…

Ken McD commented on Peter Russell's blog post 'Guido says it how it is! Time for the community to reclaim the project.'
@Amy You obviously have some personal relationship with The Queen. So it is also obvious that you have a personal bias which precludes unbiased analysis. Hiding behind the ban on "Personal attacks" is BS. Some of these people deserve to be…

Ken McD commented on Peter Russell's blog post 'Guido says it how it is! Time for the community to reclaim the project.'
Finally came back to read this thread . . . Contributing code does not make someone a good community leader or project manager. Based on current state of affairs one could say this is ample evidence that the Peter Principle is obviously at work in…

Javier Gómez replied to Ken McD's discussion 'Audiences and Topics - brainstorming list' in the group J and Beyond - An International Joomla Conference
Suggestion to add to the list: Audiences: Joomla! trainers/teachers/facilitators topic: Joomla! teaching methods @Alex Kempkens I vote for your JUGs meeting proposal. And I also believe in a workshop for JUGs leaders about using the Joomla! project…

Alex Kempkens replied to Ken McD's discussion 'Audiences and Topics - brainstorming list' in the group J and Beyond - An International Joomla Conference
While talking to potential people that might attend one more topic came up. People asked if they could meet their regional Joomla User Group (JUGs) on the event. I think it would be awesome if we can get various JUGs sending some people to the…

. Until The Queen is removed from her throne there will be no resolution. She clearly relishes wielding her power. She does this for Joomla, she's done that for Joomla, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, and add to that list 4 years of arrogant,…

Hi, While talking to people I very often here some session requests in the direction of: - Discussing the organizational structure of Joomla in the regions (how they can work together) - Discuss the over all structure, leadership, steering of the…

Alex Kempkens replied to Ken McD's discussion 'I Pledge the First $50' in the group Joomla! International Conference
I'm honestly surprised to see this post here on the site. Folks - all together as a whole - does also include those in the Joomla/OSM camp!!! This means we are not up to any fight at all. So there is no need to raise any money for any defense…

Herman Peeren replied to Ken McD's discussion 'I Pledge the First $50' in the group Joomla! International Conference
If you need $50 dollars to prefinance the festival: tell me what's the bank account. But my money will not be misused for some silly action against OSM. Said to much about it allready. The Dutch Queen, in my opinion, would do better in a…

I'll sure pledge $50 to help with the conference/recoup what we might have gotten from OSM. A lot of silliness going on around the permission to use the name issue. All of this is solved by working with Ryan. He's in charge of events and…

- Love dark chocolate. Emmmm. I would also love to promote the Unofficial 2010 Conference. Been thinking about - it would be really easy to have all kinds of buzz building copy. @Herman So I can count on your $50? ;-) Sounds like we have some…

One of my favorite quotes:

Never try to teach a pig to sing.
It wastes your time and it annoys the pig.



Note: at one time this quote was my Joomla forum signature.
