People who seek a work environment where everyone is "like > a family" scare me a bit. I want colleagues, not brothers and sisters. some guys seem to miss the point: People want to feel better/more at home/accepted/welcome in the debian ecosystem. And of course it is not only possible but very desireable and even necessary in the long run. lecturing people publicly about their own shortcomings when they point out the necessity of change is counter productive. It might have been worse before. we might be doing not that bad. but we can do better, and we must, if we dont want to a attract verbal violence and abuse and create a athmosphere of "go away until you accomplished something to establish your l33tness and earn our non-hostility". Other projects managed to build a friendly athmosphere and are doing quite well with that. we might do better, too. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
