[Ssc-dev] Fwd: ObscuraCam Comment

[Bryan Nunez]

Hi all,

This is just a heads up that I'm approving a snarky comment on the OVC blog
post about ObscuraCam.

http://openvideoconference.org/2011/07/the-securesmartcam-project-protecting-human-rights/

Not sure when the comment will go up, but feel free to respond ;-)

Hi Ernie,

Yes of course post the comment.  One the goals of the project is to be as
transparent and in the public as possible.  We welcome criticism and
suggestions (even ones lacking in social tact).  Hopefully our negative
commenter won't find it beneath him or her to explain why it's a bad idea
and what we should be doing instead, since I assume we all share similar end
goals.

I'm cc'ing Sam and Nathan, since I'm sure they've got thoughts as to how to
respond.

Thanks for the heads up,
Bryan
