An excellent former manager of mine once gave me very good advice - |
| 10 |
everybody is replaceable. I for one have been a bit annoyed by the |
| 11 |
number of "this project stinks - I quit" posts in the last few months. |

I'm sure it is just venting, but ultimately gentoo is a team effort. It |
| 13 |
is more important that the team is functional than that any particular |
| 14 |
uber-contributor continues to contribute. Which isn't to say the |
| 15 |
contributions of uber-contributors aren't important. However, |
| 16 |
ultimately we all do our small parts to make gentoo what it is. |

It really just comes down to acting like an adult. The project that is |
| 19 |
successful will be the one where individuals put the good of the project |
| 20 |
ahead of their personal whims. Sure, we're all volunteers and as a |
| 21 |
result we get to pick and choose what we work on, but there has to be |
| 22 |
some give and take for the good of the project. |
| 23 |

And if you just treat everybody nicely, say thank-you, and try not to |
| 25 |
bite the head off of somebody who says something idiotic things will be |
| 26 |
a lot happier for everyone... :) |
