Trustees, |
| 2 |
I feel that it is my obligation to make you all aware of what I believe |
| 3 |
is a situation between Kurt and I that is inhibiting the forward |
| 4 |
progress of the releng team. Kurt has contacted the team on our mailing |
| 5 |
list (as well as me personally) during the past two weeks or so |
| 6 |
regarding his strong disapproval of what releng is doing, with specific |
| 7 |
regard to the release schedule. He has been very vehement in his |
| 8 |
position that in taking it upon himself to disrupt the current setup of |
| 9 |
releng and force me to change the release schedule, no matter the very |
| 10 |
postive progress releng is currently making or the negative impact that |
| 11 |
such a change would incur. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Releng is doing a very good job, especially when considering the time |
| 14 |
frame. In a relatively short amount of time, my team has worked very |
| 15 |
hard to get Gentoo up to speed on releases. My team and I have worked |
| 16 |
through some very tough situations and have always accomodated devs and |
| 17 |
Architecture Coordinators alike when needed (which is a lot). |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Kurt, for releng to continue to be successful, you need to let me do my |
| 20 |
job. Part of being a trustee is trusting your colleagues in their |
| 21 |
position, and your incessant, disruptive, and negative activity in the |
| 22 |
releng project does not show you to be the team player that you can be. |
| 23 |
I know that you have concerns, but please step back and be the "gentle |
| 24 |
hand" that we have all pledged to be. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Regards, |
| 27 |
