BBB ships more than 100K units -- and soon with Debian!

Excellent news, and yes as shabaz wrote, every part of it is good!

And very well done Jason Kridner for making the necessary adjustments in software support.  I'm sure the message was arriving loud and clear from multiple quarters.

Morgaine.

Interesting thread here https://groups.google.com/d/msg/beagleboard/WYrk-JUAkbM/EdXVSEiU6oYJ where Geralg Coley confirms it.

For me, it says a lot when Jason doesn't participate - seemingly at all - in the community surrounding his creation, announces Debian on a third party website and leaves it to Gerald to confirm it after someone posted the same link as John did. I'm beginning to wonder what part Jason actually plays in Beagle* these days as it seems to be left to Gerald, the hardware guy, to take all of the flak. It also seems that Robert Nelson has become the defacto software leader and the move to debian is likely largely down to his influence.

The rest of that thread is worth a quick read, we're clearly not the only ones seeing problems with angstrom.  Anguel's reply made me laugh, and before someone suggests it, no it's not me posting in disguise

I don't actually understand what's going on with Jason.  I don't even have any wild theories. (*)  If I scratched my head every time that Drew talks to Jason yet Jason ignores E14 almost entirely, I'd have no scalp left.  I have to guess that we're missing the kingpin entirely, otherwise some of this would have fallen into place by itself.  It hasn't.

Coder27 is good at piecing together seemingly disconnected pieces of a complex puzzle.  I wish he were here.  And conversely, the value of us being here has decreased in his absence.  Hopefully there's going to be some movement on that when Sagar and colleagues return from their holidays, otherwise things are looking bleak.

Anyway, good for Beagleboard.org and BBB.  Despite lack of explanations, they actually do the right thing for the community in the end, and hence for themselves too.  E14 could learn from that.

Morgaine.

(*) Maybe it's nothing more complex than simply not being talkative.  It's unlikely that he's doing "the right thing" just by accident --- he must be doing the listening part of dialog very effectively.
