but I for one have serious problems with any further
collaboration with
google (et al.)
You don't have to: nobody forces you to be neither mentor nor student -
GSoC participation is completely voluntarily. Moreover, I'm not really
sure whether receiving payment could be considered as "collaboration" in
the context of Free Software: usually collaboration means code
contributions, tickets, documentation, testing etc.
I'm even somewhat unhappy that many people on
this
mailing list force me to have my writing archived
I'm not quite sure what you're referring to. We both write emails from
non-gmail accounts for example.
I don't have a good analysis of what google gets
out of the summer of
code, nor do I have the time or inclination to go reasearch it
I'd really recommend doing some research on the subject matter before
voicing a strong opinion about it.
and work towards sustainable FOSS
Getting extra money and manpower is exactly that, isn't it?
means saying NO to corporate surveillance.
What this have to do with GSoC?
and they are not your friends either.
Again, how is this related to GSoC?
In general, I'm only happy if developer A receive funding for his
Osmocom work from entity B regardless of my personal opinion of either.
