[Vtigercrm-developers] Roadmap 6.5 and 7

[Stacey Johnson]

> That's because open source means not only free code, but also a live
community

Well.... it couldn't be better described. IN regards to forking, there is
one, where a lot has been done, just the CEO needs
a bit adjustment :o)  if he promise to respect community voices (without
pointing out who pay, who did more.. etc.... ) it could
lead to exceptional collaboration and application.
If not.......... I would love to see fork run by joint Alan's (both), Joe &
Andrea, Simone, Manuel, Conrado and few more from this list - in friendly
and honest collaboration
which will respect "free code and community".
Money is important, it feeds our families, but if everybody turn into money
making machines only (without precious habit of giving a bit of our-self
for free) , the crime and bestiality will take over whole world.
If you love your loved ones, the flowers comes for free he..? Or you just
promise you buy it in the future?
