Actually, I think this statement makes it clear that "old grudges" ARE |
| 25 |
influencing the |
| 26 |
current situation. It may be William that is bring them up, but everyone |
| 27 |
is still reacting as |
| 28 |
if they are still relevant. It is clear that William feels injured by the |
| 29 |
old incidents, and |
| 30 |
feels that they have impeded his attempts to return. It is also clear that |
| 31 |
he bears as much |
| 32 |
responsibility as anyone for their still being relevant. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Perhaps someone should take a moment to step back and say "Yes, there were |
| 35 |
some problems |
| 36 |
and we are sorry they happened; and maybe you should apologize for being a |
| 37 |
bit of a PITA, |
| 38 |
and just let it all drop into the bit bucket." |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
There is a lot of fine whine being served, and all of it should be wiped |
| 41 |
off the table. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
William: Just do the necessary things; ask for a new "mentor", go through |
| 44 |
the quizes, |
| 45 |
and don't respond to non-germane comments. submit patches and ebuild |
| 46 |
corrections |
| 47 |
via bugzilla, and don't respond to non-technical comments. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
ComRel/DevRel/whomever: Do your jobs and fairly evaluate the technical |
| 50 |
talents |
| 51 |
necessary to evaluate and grant the appropriate resources. Do not indulge |
| 52 |
in |
| 53 |
gratuitous non-technical commentary; only determine if conversations about |
| 54 |
technical |
| 55 |
issues remain involved in technical commentary. All actions should be voted |
| 56 |
on |
| 57 |
and recorded. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
All this should take place in open bugzilla entries, except the quizes (and |
| 60 |
their logs |
| 61 |
should be saved somewhere in neutral territory. And perhaps a Council |
| 62 |
member of two should be |
| 63 |
pinged to keep an eye on the process. |
