So.... Since devrel has been so kind and suspended me, based on our |
2 |
brand new CoC, I don't feel any need to stay on this project any more. |
3 |
I'm therefore resigning from this project. |
4 |
|
5 |
I'm pretty sure it will be actually no loss for Gentoo, since those |
6 |
folks that contributed to my retirement far outweigh the benefit I |
7 |
could ever possibly be to this project. This can be clearly evidenced |
8 |
by their long-lasting good record as in [1] and [2] and [3]. In |
9 |
devrel's own words, one needs to "respect the wishes of maintainers". |
10 |
|
11 |
So I'm respecting the wishes of said developer and am getting out of |
12 |
his way - cheers and keep slackin', Colin! Keep on the great work! I |
13 |
fully understand that respect for wishes of maintainers is far more |
14 |
important than fixing stuff in the tree for our users; unfortunately |
15 |
those wishes are incompatible with my tasks of a bug wrangler. Of |
16 |
course that can be quickly remedied by taking simple steps such as |
17 |
suspending the offenders who complain on the bugs, so no big deal. |
18 |
|
19 |
I'd also like to express my sincere thanks to our QA team, they've |
20 |
been a tremendous help to me, especially since spb took the position |
21 |
of QA lead and eroyf joined them. This can be documented on way too |
22 |
many bugs, this email is getting long so I'd just mention [4] as a |
23 |
good example of nice work these folks have been doing. Also thanks for |
24 |
the neutral approach you've taken on the other bugs quoted above, I'm |
25 |
pretty sure that's the right thing to do for QA. No need at all to be |
26 |
concerned about bugs that have been sitting there for mere two years, |
27 |
we shouldn't make the precious maintainers angry, right. |
28 |
|
29 |
Finally, my thanks go to devrel and especially our devrel lead, for |
30 |
the professional, unbiased etc. conduct they've presented on my |
31 |
devrel bug [5] (sorry, ask your friendly devrel member to unrestrict |
32 |
if you can't read it, after all I can't access it either), as well as |
33 |
before. I indeed entirely failed when I removed myself from the |
34 |
"discussion about possible misbehaviour on [my] side". I'm pretty sure |
35 |
the fact that noone CCed me there in the first place for about 9 |
36 |
months was just an unfortunate oversight of our fully professional |
37 |
devrel. So, thanks a bunch again, kloeri. I'm the worst CoC offender |
38 |
in the whole Gentoo ever, and fully deserve to be punished. In no way |
39 |
we should disturb the old good boys club around #-uk, that could |
40 |
endanger your position and would require guts; no need for that. |
41 |
|
42 |
Whoever is in charge, kindly change my bugzilla account to the email |
43 |
address this mail is sent from and take care of the setting the |
44 |
bugzilla privs accordingly. There's still a couple of bugs I've filed |
45 |
and maybe someone will take care of them. (No need to worry, Colin, |
46 |
you can sit on your bugs as long as you wish, I won't disturb you in |
47 |
your limbo), |
48 |
|
49 |
For all the rest of folks that haven't found themselves above, sorry, |
50 |
no thanks for you in this mail. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't |
51 |
appreciate to be thanked in this context, and that's a good thing. |
52 |
|
53 |
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish! |
