I try to make this blog mostly about open-source and management. And I do not necessarily mean “open-source and management” in the same breath.
These just happen to be two topics that I live and breathe daily and, as they say: “Write about what you know”.
Anyway, today, both worlds collided and you can see the result at http://blog.mootools.net/2007/12/13/an-open-apology-to-the-authors-of-jquery-prototype-and-others
I am not going to comment on the original issue, this isn’t my goal. I simply think that it’s very instructive to read all the comments to that post. They raise some very interesting questions about management.
Was the author’s reaction “leadership?” What constitutes leadership, then? Is it knowing when to apologize? Is it sticking by your own troops?
I leave it to you to form your own opinion.
