Okay here is the deal.
"I'm putting the band back together..."
Anyone that is still active and whose dream still drives them let me know as soon as you can.
I've been taking the piss, for too long, abusing the hard work that others have provided me.
CM membership was about trust, and I failed on some intrinsic level, to develop that trust into real traction.
"How about for old timey sake, we jump start this pacemaker, and see what we can do with some equal parts desperation, determination and of course a hint of inspiration?"
In short order I want to attack the original DP design document, and flesh the skeleton out into a meaningful prototype that not only justifies our commitment, but isn't some half assed regurge of some vision no one wants to play.
In my mind we have to justify attention in radical positives, not produce something that ensures the tragic predictions of how much TS will suck.
Second I want to establish a meaningful community portal, extending the tool set and reach of massdev as originally concieved as well as expanding our information sources to attract and empower the macro community.
Third I want us to be the beacon, the lighthouse that says, there is active and sentient life within TS and it wants to be my friend.
Lastly I want us to attract and retain recruits to product members based on necessary skillsets and rock solid commitment to TS and our ability to fufil.
I don't think we can go anywhere without kicking up some dust and really taking a stand for what we believe in.
I'm ready today, even if I have to do this solo, to take a stand for what we could achieve, and the buck stops right here and right now.
SO who is going to leave a brother hanging?
Bastards, I don't expect this to be fast, but back in the day CM wasn't a deluge of willing, it was a slow swell that grew until we all stopped caring.
I won't stop caring again.
Word to your mother.
