I though that maybe some of you would like to participate in the discussion / advertise Spring.

This is relevant to my interests.

Strange that it slipped through my rss feed though..

I'd rather not push anything on the people who play my project.

I'd rather not push anything on the people.

Agreed.

Linux fanboyz are as bad as any other fanboy I see. People will switch to Linux if/when it becomes more convienient for them to use Linux, if you FORCE them to use Linux all you'll do is piss them off. Sure, they'll be using Linux, but i doubt they'll be singing your praises.

Sounds like the tone of the page is less that FOSS games should serve the Linux distros than "distros should take FOSS/game projects under their wing, *financially, even* to encourage their development.

That is, projects like Spring and OpenArena need to be adopted by Novell et al.
