These mails simply leave me confused: - Why is Michael asking what my profession is? We are employed by the same company, which has fewer employees than you can count on two hands. - Why am I asking for root access? Distribution of responsibilities and ease of mind for me and the community. The FFmpeg infrastructure is a complete black hole and preivously I wanted to document it publicly for the community but found that it was not possible to do so without access to actually check myself. I don't really care if it's me or Marvin or someone else that I know who attends events and is easily contactable and is interested in opening up the infrastructure in general. - Why am I not being held to the same standard as Michael with regards to privacy? I simply prefer not to have my photo taken. The same can be said for Michael, no? I have physically attended FFmpeg, VideoLan, and FOSS events for almost a decade, any members of the community who have attended these events know what I look like. - Why is Compn concerned with my prior work history and what bearing does this have on my ability to perform maintenance and other duties? More sad or funny or maybe both, but having met Compn in the previous VDD and spent the community day in the same team hunting around the city, I maybe somewhat expected to get the benefit of the doubt. I'm just confused as to why this is a question at all. I certainly enjoyed my time with him, and learning more about the early days of the project (of which I was obviously not involved). But it also highlighted to me further how fragmented our infrastructure is. Distribution and redundancy is of course preferred and what I am trying to achieve, but it doesn't work if the parts don't know about each other or choose not to work with each other. -- jd _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
