Hello! |

When you are active in Gentoo during one week and less active during the |
5 |
next it may happen that people (sometimes jokingly) call you a |
6 |
"slacker". This pattern seems to have become common enough that people |
7 |
even started calling themselves slackers when they are less active than |
8 |
potentially possible. Is this reasonable and healthy? |
9 |
|
10 |
No, it isn't. |
11 |
|
12 |
As far as I know most if not all Gentoo developers do unpaid voluntary |
13 |
work in and for Gentoo. So every single minute a Gentoo developer puts |
14 |
into Gentoo is a gift, incontrast to understanding every other minute a |
15 |
stolen one. How come such a wrong concept even made it into the process |
16 |
of the council? Officially being marked as a slacker? Is that the only |
17 |
way to ensure an active council? |
18 |
|
19 |
To get this mis-concept out again I need your help. |
20 |
There is no such thing as slacking in Gentoo - no matter how many weeks |
21 |
you ran without commits. It's time to get this understanding back to |
22 |
its healthy counterpart. Yes, it does make a difference to call a |
23 |
script activity-monitor or slacking-detector. |
24 |
|
25 |
What do we need to to do fix this? |
26 |
What are the places where you observe this inversion? |

Thanks for your interest, |
