I think you should be more concerned with the fact there has not been a |
2 |
single new developer yet in 2017. Rather than trying to further |
3 |
restrict and limit a community that is NOT attracting new blood or |
4 |
growing really. Which was one of the fastest growing communities. |
5 |
|
6 |
It is sad when people cannot use means like Comrel or violations of |
7 |
CoC to control things as they see fit. Then they seek other means to |
8 |
limit, control, and filter people. That is hardly an open society, much |
9 |
less accepting or tolerant. |
10 |
|
11 |
Still trying to address social issues with technical solutions rather |
12 |
than being social. Getting to know someone. So could say send an email, |
13 |
or IRC. "Hey chill out man".... |
14 |
|
15 |
Lets by all means not be friendly and use childish technical things to |
16 |
restrict people. That could be circumvented if someone had the will. |
17 |
With NO legal recourse.... The whole thing is stupid, childish and |
18 |
petty. |
19 |
|
20 |
Things have ebbs and flows. These lists go through periods of |
21 |
inactivity. Then people freak out when they become active. Usually a |
22 |
vocal minority having issue with dead lists becoming active. |
23 |
|
24 |
Once again on some power trip to control others. While they are NOT |
25 |
doing work... Just getting in the way of others who are... |
26 |
|
27 |
Yet those very same do not want any control place on themselves within |
28 |
Gentoo. They just want to control others outside. The whole thing is |
29 |
ridiculous and Gentoo needs some serious house cleaning with people who |
30 |
need to go. People need to stop with the power trips, and stop thinking |
31 |
that individuals are Gentoo. No one person represents Gentoo. |
32 |
|
33 |
For as much noise as I make. I do even more work. For others who stay |
34 |
silent and seek to get in the way of people like myself. They tend to |
35 |
contribute much less. To bad people cannot look at their own negative |
36 |
impact. Really just hurting Gentoo. Making it past denial is the hardest |
37 |
step. |
38 |
|
39 |
The only reason Gentoo Java is still suffering. PRs open from users for |
40 |
over a years. I mentioned months ago. While others stack up. That is |
41 |
directly due to people like Andreas. It would be one thing if he found |
42 |
others. But that is the saddest part. They drive the few away willing |
43 |
to the work. Their conduct does not attract new people. Nor do they do |
44 |
the work themselves. They just cause major neglect. |
45 |
|
46 |
In tech when something bit rots people do not flock to fix it. They |
47 |
migrate away from it. Java is pretty much already past the state of no |
48 |
return on Gentoo. Not without major changes and a team of people |
49 |
working on the stuff. |
50 |
|
51 |
Even those with mathematical minds are not crunching the numbers. Are |
52 |
they really mathematical as claimed? |
53 |
|
54 |
X amount of packages, N amount of developers. Given attrition, lack of |
55 |
new developers, and exponentially growing packages. There is a major |
56 |
problem. Which can easily be seen by doing some math.... |
57 |
|
58 |
No discussions or concerns on the lack of new developers. The last ones |
59 |
added were not even new. They had been around for a long time.. |
60 |
|
61 |
Good stuff. Lets keep broken bit rot toys to ourself... Others will |
62 |
come fix. Yeah right.... |
