All, |

I'm afraid that I find that my position with Gentoo is no longer |
4 |
tenable. Over the past year and especially over the past few months |
5 |
the ability to keep Gentoo a coherent and smooth environment has been |
6 |
eroded and hindered at practically every opportunity by bad decisions, |
7 |
staff, and in some cases, downright incompetence. |
8 |
|
9 |
It transpires that from the recent barrage of developers leaving, the |
10 |
disquiet and increasing lack of congruence of the developer (and to |
11 |
some extent also the user) communities that something is inherently |
12 |
wrong. I'm leaving it as an exercise to the reader to explore exactly |
13 |
what (if anything) is wrong. |
14 |
|
15 |
Seeing as we have failed to address these challenges over the course |
16 |
of many months and as a result of continuous recent discussions (which |
17 |
half the time end up being totally redundant due to miscommunication) |
18 |
both on -core and on -dev, it is evident that something is wrong with |
19 |
the core management (or lack thereof, depending on your point of view). |
20 |
|
21 |
I no longer have the commitment or desire to follow the road in |
22 |
solving the above challenges. I'm not really sure whether there even |
23 |
is a solution. I'd like to add that I have really enjoyed my time in |
24 |
the past three years working with Gentoo and helping to contribute to |
25 |
the then vibrant and dynamic community. |
26 |
|
27 |
Lately however, the "fun" and the motivation just hasn't been there |
28 |
for the reasons I've outlined above; it's finally taken its toll, and |
29 |
I believe the time to move onto new projects and ventures has finally |
30 |
come for me. |
31 |
|
32 |
I would like to wish all of you the very best, and would like to thank |
33 |
all of you who have (and haven't) made my time here so enjoyable. |
34 |
|
35 |
So long, and thanks for all the fish... |

Tim. |
