I would tend to prefer this than a standardized bi-weekly report. A lot |
| 16 |
of times things don't change much, or its just general "maintenance" |
| 17 |
type stuff that happens in the background. And as stated in a later |
| 18 |
email, we can send a report to the council before the meeting in case we |
| 19 |
can't make it to it. Many of us lead busy lives during the day and |
| 20 |
having a free hour for yet-another-meeting is troublesome a lot of the |
| 21 |
times. |
| 22 |
|

I understand the lack of communication on some of the aspects of infra |
| 24 |
specifically. Frankly, the attitude of a lot devs lately towards infra |
| 25 |
have made many of us not want to communicate what we're doing. If we're |
| 26 |
not getting respected by you, then why should we respect you back? At |
| 27 |
least for me personally, I don't hold any personal grudges against |
| 28 |
anyone unless you stop respecting the group and/or me. Personally, I |
| 29 |
think the larger problem in Gentoo itself is the attitudes of many |
| 30 |
developers. Communication aside, it means nothing if we can't deal with |
| 31 |
each other in a semi-professional manner. It seems like mini-flame |
| 32 |
explosions on irc/email have happened more frequently in the last few |
| 33 |
months. This is just going to make the group implode if nothing is done |
| 34 |
about it. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Anyways, that's my thoughts. |
