[Envolution-devel] I resigne from envolution

[gagl <ca...@fr...>]

Hi, I'm capretta:
 I was doc manger before, I'm in staff of envolution.it  and was working =
on the eNDP (eNvolution Documentation Project): maybe the new MP and all =
the new 4 developers (nothing personal....) and alive-again founders =
don't know, but Zoom knows how things went in this year and what has =
been stated and created.=20
You maybe ask what's going on now with all "TiMax followers" as someone =
wrote on this ML....
Ok, many things changed, and you new staff seem to be the only that =
doesn't understand: maybe if you read ML of the last year you would =
understand more how we were organized, not always by written rules:=20
THIS COMUNITY WORKED AND GROWED AND WAS RULED MOSTLY BY CONFIDENCE. And =
this politics, the best one in Open source voluntary projects, worked =
fine: because we had a PM that left us free to create and develop on =
little projects, made by groups, with personal contacts, other ML, with =
all tools we needed, but we had ALWAYS support, reliance and respect on =
and by our MP. Evreything was reported to him, who was the center of all =
single projects. We call it coordination and organization if needed: =
that's what a PM has to do.=20
Nearly 12000 users, have you seen our Forums on envo.it? our Statistics? =
All the users asked, helped in making better this CMS: they feel it, and =
had confidence in us, and we had in them. The staff tried then to =
satisfy these needs of the users, and spontaneously things were =
developed and bugs fixed: that's a comunity, based on confidence and =
respect.=20
This until last week: we expected the new PM would first see how things =
work (because Apatyboy has no idea about how envolution works and he =
showed it with his behaviour), then speak with everybody, and then =
programming the future.=20
He managed only, until now, to make a nonsense vision, that we, from the =
italian support side, haven't translated, because it cracks the promises =
and the expectations of the 12000 users we have, thinking: maybe he =
stepped on a bullshit, how we say in italy. Then the rest went how =
nobody of us expected:=20
Maybe you don't know, but we all continue to use these not appropriate =
channels to comunicate: other ML, mails, chats, there is an uprisal not =
only from some staff members, but much more from the users against new =
politics of the new leaders and staff. See it on the local sites, come =
to visit please envolution.it, comments, forums, users and staff members =
that compromise themeselves with their companies to follow envolution =
project, in confidence, believed in  it, and now see unknown names =
making rules in an afternoon on saturday on august between them, 4-5 new =
staff men.=20
Is it not a signal for you all, and much more for you, Zoom, you're in =
it since some months, that some supports left, other are discussing to =
leave, developers banned, other censored...... has it never happened =
before? OK, maybe we are all foolish and childish: but you, is your =
coscience clear? Let's then make a saint of you.....
I work on open source because i like to do it with people, with whom I =
work fine and in confidence ( this word is the reason of all happened): =
so all of us spent their free time on this project, between friends: I =
don't remember a flame between staff members nor resignments on =
envolution.....Now I don't have this feeling: I don't want to work under =
the command of unknown people, I don't do this neither in my private =
job....you decide new rules about ENISS (you all know what it is?) =
without hearing who was working on it, only after a meeting between you =
4-5 new team.....don't be surprised if people called you =
dispotic....that's not the way to handle and coordinate a comunity that =
is used to work in freedom and CONFIDENCE.
I don't want to start flames with nobody, this mail is only another =
trying to make you understand why this all is happening, but maybe Zoom, =
the laywer, will find an offensive word or statement in this mail and =
build all the defence on that single word and not on the sense of =
discussion....we hoped at least on you, who knows how envo works, but =
you seemed to be elsewhere.....
This is my resignment from doc manger, but I think, you decided it =
before, since you cancelled all positions from the site....
But I will continue in envolution.it staff, with the other staff and the =
thousands of members, in harmony and CONFIDENCE.
