OK, let me get this straight... You are suggesting here that we are not |
| 20 |
losing enough developers for devrel/userrel to be bothered enough to |
| 21 |
start caring about WTH is going wrong here? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Sure, after Flameeyes left we have pam + alsa pretty much unmaintained, |
| 24 |
we've lost a key KDE + sound apps developer + BSD lead; next we've lost |
| 25 |
metalgod who was a member of already pretty understaffed Gnome herd, one |
| 26 |
of 3 members of media-optical herd and sounds apps maintainer as well. |
| 27 |
Then a developer and founder of this distribution who rejoined just |
| 28 |
about a week ago ran away, scared when seeing the state of things. |
| 29 |
That's just for the past month. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
And you come here to tell us that people shouldn't get confused by these |
| 32 |
'very few' retirements, that the sun in still shining nicely and we are |
| 33 |
recruiting people as always? And that you will continue silently |
| 34 |
watching the trolls team associated around mips and ciaranm call people |
| 35 |
fuckheads, idiots and making a gutter of something that's supposed to be |
| 36 |
a development mailing list? |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Ugh... well done. |
