Thanks in large part to mgorny's initiative it has been brought to my |
2 |
attention that I am not welcome in the gentoo community. |

|

He has done everything he can to obstruct me from contributing, |
5 |
including attempting to have my foundation membership revoked (620010) |
6 |
in a bug that he didn't even BOTHER to have me CC'ed on until I |
7 |
stumbled on it while spectating on a trustee meeting,and unilaterally |
8 |
dismissing me from the proxy maintainers project, officially for |
9 |
inactivity but confessing on IRC that he just found me difficult to |
10 |
work with. |
11 |
|
12 |
This is, to be blunt, bullshit. When a security bug came in against |
13 |
bopm I was prompt in having it fixed (see bug 631882. Other than |
14 |
that, apart from yielding skypeforlinux to someone who used scripts to |
15 |
beat me to the punch, the other packages were simply dormant upstream |
16 |
and rather than being inactive on those I was simply idling. |
17 |
|
18 |
I might have been difficult to work with, but if that was the real |
19 |
reason I was "fired" it should have been documented on my maintainer |
20 |
bug. The official reason as listed is not accurate. |
21 |
|
22 |
When I informed mgorny of my choice to resign, his words were as |
23 |
follows (as of Nov 12, 2018, pacific time): |
24 |
|
25 |
[13:37:32] <Shentino> I'm resigning from the foundation and severing |
26 |
all ties with gentoo. |
27 |
[13:37:37] <Shentino> Congratulations, you got your wish. |
28 |
[13:47:16] <mgorny> thanks, really appreciated |

Unfortunately, it appears that his opinion of my worth to Gentoo is |
31 |
not isolated, and since my efforts are not welcome I've decided it's |
32 |
in the mutual interest of myself and Gentoo for me to resign. |
33 |
|
34 |
Since I'm not welcome there's no point in me sticking around and |
35 |
wasting my time. |
36 |

37 |
Foundation, please get your books in order, particularly with the back |
38 |
taxes, so that you can get back the respect of the rest of the |
39 |
community. I'm tired of people using the foundation's past paperwork |
40 |
problems as an excuse to disregard and dismiss them. |
