Buildings falling over / rebuilding in Christchurch

[Bruce Kingsbury]

If you're going to fork the topic please change the subject line?

plan. If we're lucky we get something functional, I'm not holding my
breath on the asthetic given that architects' primary purpose is to
massage their egos by perpetually holding competitions on who can build
the fugliest. At least it'll be safe (well, by and large), and we can
always hope.

The Art Gallery seems to be pretty good evidence that fugly outlasts
aesthetics. Never cared for it myself though it seems to be a fairly
good media base.

The art gallery was designed and built extra strong because it houses
valuable works of art, and therefore works well as a command centre. I think
it has certain architectural merit, but the eye of the beholder is the key
to any such view.
<rant>  the canterbury regional council (ecan) have a bunker designed for
civil defence emergencies. however they have fallen out so badly with the
ccc that it doesn't get used. politics be damned. </rant>

Actually... (for those of us who use the threading capabilities of our
email clients)
it is necessary to start anew, regardless of msg title/subject line
(else there will be thread/subject co-mingling, boils will break out on
your body, the sun will cease to shine, and something else involving
frogs...)

If it's a true fork i'll be happy with a revised subject line.

If it is indeed a new subject, a new thread is appropriate.

I dare say however the Christchurch discussion has gone quite
non-Linuxy....

Mark.

My fault. I forked. (I think). Anyway - not Linuxy but of concern to
enough Linux users that it could possibly sneak on here... There are
definitely some issues here the people seem interested in
discussing...

Are you sure?

If that comment's based on my comment about that site in the "OSS
story on the NBR website" thread, that was bad editing on my part.

The previous posting asked "Rather than merely changing the original
story, it'd be great to present to them an opportunity to write about
an actual open source success. Who has one that would interest NBR
and wants to reach out?" Unfortunately I trimmed that excessively and
lost context before my reply.

OK, so one comment isn't much of a discussion. Just trying to lead
things back onto the topic of the mailing list.. ;-)
