[Vtigercrm-developers] Richie, Gopal or vtiger representation

[Brett Hooker]

Sreenivas,

It would be great if the language and actions reflected a community 
centric approach to the project too.  For example, collaboration on the 
roadmap would be better than the vtiger team just sharing it with us... ;-)

I've watched Joe's frustration over the last few months, and it's a huge 
shame.  The projects he has worked on, and had to step away from, would 
have been tremendous additions to the project.

I implore you to engage your regional advocates with the utmost priority 
- especially Joe.  I look forward to seeing an announcement about a 
strategic alliance formed with tsolucio within days... ;-)

If your primary focus really is developing partnerships, I'm a little 
surprised to see this is your first post here and that you'll be getting 
back to us over the next few weeks.  I would have thought that we'd all 
have had personal contact from you already with the objective being to 
meet us and see how each of us can help.

Sorry this is a tad negative.  I look forward to tremendous positive 
communications with you over the next week...

Thanks,
Brett
