The ideas, thought as conflicted, are really not. They come together such that we can see the issues at hand and become more keenly sensed when we can join and work together for common goal(s).
A collaboration is a do-ocracy which often has differing skills contributing.
So here is yet another question for us:
- What would be a idea for a formula that would make missions in Puppy, not just survive, but to also GROW in Puppy membership?
- And, along those lines what incentive (or approach) could be presented to make it attractive for participation?
Along the way, distro presentations has been marred by discussion of lean vs complete with little understanding of distro size vs distro ability to operate in RAM for user benefit. And, as members have already acknowledge, most of this community are using PCs which are less than 10 years old. And in the near future most of even those machines can/will disappear based upon technologies like Virtual Host and Terminal Server should they become accepted in PUP distros.
JPeps shares that the devices that are becoming common-place are, in fact, devices which could be embraced as we look to Puppy's future. This would be a similar view that Canonical was aiming at when they crowd-sourced.
TaZoC was the VERY FIRST PUPPY in LightHouse64 where it runs on a Touch device and one can use fingers to do what a mouse has done traditionally. He did this with one simple change that he recognized as significant in its use. Touch is here....if developer want, in a PUP desktop. With his, and with a Touch PC/Laptop, you can initiate and make use of the screen in a new and different way than we have in the past. This is in no way complete, but its an acknowledgement that some things can be addressed as technology presents for our use.
Puppy can continue, but, to do so, its members will come up with ways for collaboration to continue the trek and the success that has been achieved, to date. At least, one can be hopeful.
"Its not difficult" (as a TV commercial of a grown-up sitting a table of kids, purports)
