I think anybody who has a vested interest in FOSS and in a project has the
right to say
"I think we are sending the wrong message to the younger generation what it
takes to succeed in Open Source"
I personally feel that we are sending the message
1) Find the person who has contributed the most to a project,
2) Select some choice pieces out of the 10,000 emails they have written that
suggests they are a jerk
3) Show this to the world and say "You see, your hero is a big jerk"
4) Have your friends twit and blog the message until everyone thinks this
guy is a big jerk.
5) Write up a lengthy painful to read doctrine about how you are going to
bring peace to the project.
6) Broadcast how your doctrine has made the project a more civil place for
discuss
BTW - I rarely try to get into things like discussing Cocs and stuff, but
this time I am just fed up with having my concentration ruined
when I could be devoting precious time to my projects.
This is causing me severe emotional distress.
Thanks,
Regina
