Hello everyone, Well, it has been a long time. I got involved a lot with the project, had a lot of ideas for the future, got to realize a few. However, it has to come to an end. Recent changes in the community make my life impossible and makes the whole adventure unenjoyable. It got to the point I did not feel like getting up in the morning. Things have to change. Those following svn commits know I have been working on a lot of different things in the last few months. Some changes shake the statu-quo. I believe they were for the best interests of the project and long term sustainability, however not all parties agree. I feel the rules of this community are being perverted to a point where any attempt to improve the situation becomes unacceptable. I cannot participate in the project if there are no hopes of making a difference. Most criticism happens off this list, which makes the situation even worst. I always had the project's best interests at heart, but I don't feel it's the same for everyone. All my efforts have been slowed down by a group of individuals for at least two months, providing very little constructive criticism and argumenting without facts, without making the effort to verify their claims. I wanted to spend my time, even free time, coding and making the project better. It seems neither is possible anymore. I have been involved for a long time, and I would resign completely if it was not for the the fact that too much of my income structure is based on this project. Complete departure will have to wait. From this day, I will not perform any more personal contributions, follow mailing lists, sit in IRC or perform any voluntary work for the project. My contributions will be minimal and leave existing things as immobile as possible to please the cult. I feel sad about this, and I feel sad for all the great people around this project. I've had a great time with most of you. Good luck. -- LP |
