I was being asking for what I had already done. If anyone had taken any time |
| 9 |
to talk to my mentor, or look at commits( git shortlog -sn | grep wlt ), or |
| 10 |
PRs, or bugs, or documentation. It would be easy to see what they were asking. |
| 11 |
I had been working as I have off and on over the years. But considerably since |
| 12 |
2015. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
They were abusing me. They were wanting to see more of what already existed. |
| 15 |
Given what all I had done, and their further request. It seemed no amount |
| 16 |
would suffice. Given I was already more active than some members of comrel with |
| 17 |
regard to commits in tree.... |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Also it was NOT jlec requesting that if you see the log. He did that because |
| 20 |
others MADE him. Jlec was about to schedule a time to do quiz review when |
| 21 |
others brought up the past and put the requirement of "show me the work". |
| 22 |
Which the work already existed... |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
If you take my overlay into account, considerable work that there was not |
| 25 |
anyone to proxy or commit to tree... |

I have already emailed him personally and there was never any issues. What you |
| 32 |
saw was ~7yrs of frustration. I was really close to returning, quiz review |
| 33 |
with Jlec. Then others got involved and mess that all up. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Since his name was coming up. I took the time to email him personally and let |
| 36 |
him know it was nothing personal to him. He was short on time, but his initial |
| 37 |
response seemed as if he understood that. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
There is no issue between jlec and myself then or now. Jlec has thick skin and |
| 40 |
it was others causing the problems. He just got caught up in all that and I |
| 41 |
have apologized to him directly. |

Not really. If you are not seeking to help out, and get in the way of work |
| 48 |
being done and progress. Then no I will not have changed and just get worse. |
| 49 |
|

These problems are big, serious, and getting worse daily. Gentoo can survive |
| 51 |
without Java per se. Gentoo cannot survive things like the IRS.... Not without |
| 52 |
major controversy. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
I can only imagine others that might have been driven away and other areas |
| 55 |
Gentoo maybe suffering in, As a whole none is good for the project. |
