- There was some discussion during the Friday meetup about Anton running a Drummer server. I hadn't given this a lot of thought as of Friday, other than I was pretty sure it would be easier this time than it had been with LO2. The server behind Drummer is a simpler architecture. #
- Anyway, I am relieved that Anton doesn't want to run a server. Supporting other servers makes my job an order of magnitude harder, because I would have to lock down things, and manage migrations on other people's installations. I've taken on that job quite a few times in the past, with Manila, Radio Community Server, all the Poet's projects. It's only worth doing if you think it's a Change The World kind of thing. At this point I know better. It's just work. With not much if any reward. #
- I'm going to keep the focus on work that delivers benefits to end-users, and has the potential to get people excited about Drummer. #
