I've grown kind of tired of these sorts of posts, where people assume that OSS means handling the community exactly the way you prefer.

Does it have an OSS license? Do they adhere to it in practice? If so, then your complaint isn't one of OSS, but rather community politics.

There is some implicit expectation when people release a project as open source. As a OSS author if you don't understand this expectation, your project is going to hit massive roadblocks sooner or later.

The only expectation for me is that I can fork the project in accordance with their chosen license. Expecting anything else is a bit too entitled for me.

There are tons of different styles of project management. I don't see the point in claiming one as the "OSS way." I think it's fair enough to criticize someone for their management style in itself; additionally criticizing them for breaking the "OSS contract" or "going against the spirit of OSS" is kind of silly IMO, and a cheap way to score argument points and pageviews.

In this case, the Angular team both via angular-dart and via the proof of concept projects on github, and related issues lists has been very open in this process.
