Yatta, Yatta - The Vyatta Monthly Newsletter

NOTHING UP THE SLEEVES

An interesting aspect of open-source and Vyatta is the transparency. From  the feature roadmap right down to the source code, we've got nothing up our sleeves. Having that much visibility creates a great sense of accountability and responsibility. 

Think about this way...it's one thing to feel pressure to deliver from your boss, it's something else entirely when a worldwide user community of 50,000+ has the same expectations.  That might scare a weaker group of people, but it's motivation to us!

With all of you watching, we are pushing hard toward the launch of VC5 which promises to be another milestone in features, functions and performance. 


As always - send questions, suggestions, ideas, wants, needs, gripes, etc. to tmccafferty @ vyatta.com
