Re: Is Miro deleting moderators from Mambo Forum?
I don't think they have developers right now, it was an embarrasing question to them ;-). Or rather him: $ambo is now peter lamont.
Re: Is Miro deleting moderators from Mambo Forum?
Oh boy, no developers?
Why would they risk loosing the Dev Team?

Actually what they did to calm people was give me the moderator icon. But I have no moderator access, they just wanted to see if they could fool people.vavroom wrote: FWIW, tjay's moderator status reappeared after it disappeared... weird.
Mambo server and the old forums are dead to me. I am here and hope the project survives under the current team and community.

Re: Is Miro deleting moderators from Mambo Forum?
i wonder how p. lamont walks in public nowadays.. and what face can he show to the OPEN SOURCE community of the world.
perhaps byle gaytes, will be interested getting him as a "downfall consultant".. what do you think?

Re: Is Miro deleting moderators from Mambo Forum?
@hazman, my friend! have you read the whole thread in the "other" forum? yeah its a long one.. took me more than an hour to read along too.. but reading it from post one and the absorbing what the community is talking about.. you will surely get the drift.

Re: Is Miro deleting moderators from Mambo Forum?
@hazman,
okay.. simple to the simpliest number of words i can put it:
the mambo that you grew to love is being taken over by the old abandoning owner. that follows that: what you used to love bec of the community and its for FREE.. will now be a corporate identity hidden in a foundation mask. it also follows that taking the FREE priviledge makes you think twice,.. whats the reason of calling it OPEN SOURCE anyway.
yes, one of the many bottomlines it will come into,.. a paid OPEN SOURCE wouldnt sound as logical.

I posted support for the leaving core team
poof no more moderator ( we are talking in the time it took to refresh the screen)
I posted in another thread that moderator status had been removed how sad
poof abitar is back but no access
So ask why would you want it to appear someone is a moderator when in fact you have quietly removed the status
I asked to be removed from the user data base, I have no time for that and would rather monitor here and help when I can.
This day it is my wish that I helped you to live

Re: Is Miro deleting moderators from Mambo Forum?
Miro has bled out the community as it stands and is looking for the "new" core, dev, 3PD, etc.. teams.
If only they publically acknowledged this. A honour roll is a fool's errand to save face, especially since there is other code in Mambo that isn't primarily the work of the core devs (dynamic page titling and proper RSS feeds for instance).

Re: Is Miro deleting moderators from Mambo Forum?
Just a thought...
Perhaps it would be good if everyone that still has an account there starts placing this site in their sig
edit- also the Home Page URL in 'profile' and the avatar to something like below
eg. http://forum.mamboserver.com/showthread.php?t=48368
I know with my measly 7 posts there, it's not much, but it's the thought that counts

Re: Is Miro deleting moderators from Mambo Forum?
All that censorship activity over on the mamboserver forums leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.
While the airbrushes are being put to work, does anyone here know if there is a way to download and save all your own VBulletin forum posts before some mysterious flapping winged creature swoops down from the sky to sink its talons into the posts and shreds them into tiny pieces? There is a lot of useful information in there.
Is there some kind of download option much like the one for your private message folders?

- http://www.netshinesoftware.com/the-death-of-mambo.htmlAll of the official mambo websites are owned by Miro, including the official help, news, and forum sites. Several core developers have been banned from the forums despite not having broken any forum rules (in fact, the individual who wrote the forum rules, Brad Baker has been banned!). Any posts on the official forums that express support for the new core development branch are quickly deleted.
If it's truly their copyright then we can't do anything about those very valuable information. I hope not. We can still do something about it, maybe you can.

Oh this is fun . . . I had to share.
This was posted over in the Foundation discussion thread by Gil Rutkowski - the FORMER head of 3PD standards and guidelines.
. . . and apparently immediately deleted by the "evil doers".
I got the post via email.

More there in the full article.Miro, Mambo and open source
We put Mambo on Source Forge in order for people to help get the code 'straightened out' so that it could be re-released commercially. Anyone who helped out by contributing code could also do the same, providing they acknowledged where it came from. Meanwhile, we continued to work on the 3.0.5 release, providing bug fixes and patches.
Mambo 2002 was released commercially early in 2002 after 5 months of re-development. It featured several functional differences, a vast number of optimisations & bug fixes, a nice html-based installer, and a manual. Many people still ask what the differences are - why should they pay for something that's probably not that different from the open source one? In lieu of contributing something back to the code, you can pay us for the thousands of programmer-hours that have gone into Mambo. After all, we had to pay their salaries![]()
It's a curious thing, open source. Commercial software companies don't understand it. They think open source developers are mad, putting in 12 to 16 hours a day creating a brilliant piece of code and then giving it away for free. They are very happy, though, to contribute not a thing - while taking the code, adding a few touches to it and releasing it as their own commercial product. It happens all the time. Disappointingly, many individuals also think the same way.
So why does Miro do it? We offer the open source code at no charge, the community adds to it, we ALL take it away and use it for our own purposes. It's an evolutionary thing that grows to benefit all. That's the theory anyhow.
Miro developed Mambo and, as such, will continue to release customised, enhanced commercial versions of the code. Everyone else has the right, provided they adhere to the required acknowledgements, to charge for any value-adding they might do on top of Mambo; however, no one other than Miro has the right to sell the Mambo code.
Miro will NOT inhibit the development of the open source product in order to make our commercial version seem superior. In contrast, we build improvements and ADDITIONAL functionality to the commercial version of the code, suitably justifying whatever price we decide to charge. We will donate code from the commercial versions from time to time; and we will allocate developer hours to assist the open source community in building a better, more robust product. We will also continue to donate hardware, network, systems administration and technical support to the MOS project
Fun stuff!

I was just looking at the foundation's website and had a look at the membership pfd. If you want to be involved as a developer, you have to pay $50.000 annually?! They are raving mad.
