| ACE 2000 show report : Comment 8 of 22 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by greenboy on 29-Oct-2000 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 6 (Christian Kemp):
I'm not going to waste a lot of time debating this, just saying my piece. But given the connections between QNX and our community, and the current number of developers interested in both (some who are increasingly troubled by seeing what it means to them, and thinking of developing only for QNX because of the treatment they have recieved from supposedly their peers) there is if nothing else some public interest in QNX around our Amiga neighborhood. It is or should be newsworthy. At least as newsworthy as the fleeting mentions of Linux and MacOS.
And when one of the show's promoters in a mainstream-delivered (ie not Amiga-community) site writes a report of the sho up as if it was an AMIGA show - well, that just doesn't seem too fair to anybody else who paid to participate in the show, QNX-based or not.
Another thing to consider: as so many people seem to view this as some competitive turf war (though the principals do not, really, at this point), you would think these battle-minded people would WANT to know what the competition is up to. Especially with a technically savvy, and sure-to-be-around-for-a-long-time company like QNX. Amigans have in the past prided themselves on their technical acumen, but now it seems as if isolationism and ignorance is valued.
I know developers are not served well by closing themselves off to news, ideas and implementations, and I doubt the potential users of potential platforms are either. Of course, we COULD just all read the endless rehashes and duplications and speculations on the same press releases over and over to fill our time (and your pages;) . . .
