Before last Wednesday's Devuan meet. I collected a few thoughts that I hoped might be useful. What wishful thinking . . .

1. Personal attacks are rarely constructive. "Say it forget it, write it regret it." 2. It's not about you. It's about Devuan. Please get out of your own way.
  3. Never, ever lie to your users.
  4. Unilateral decisions have no place in a collaborative environment
  5. Internal communication is a good thing. "Surprises" erode trust.

Maybe I have a short memory but I have always described Devuan as a unique environment where collaborative work not personal agendas was the the focus. Well, that idealism certainly came crashing back to the reality that humans are indeed grossly flawed, unreliable and sunk in delusion.

Those of us with more even temperament are exhausted from the stupidity of the drama and disheartened by the lack of constructive solutions and leadership.

Maybe this will sort out. Maybe it won't. Maybe the magic and joy will return. Maybe it won't. It is not easy to repair a broken toy once it is in pieces.

Humans are such slow learners . . .
