Hi allAfter months of public harassment and accusations it appears the attacks against me shift to private mail. Iam not sure how to handle this to be honest, It must from the outside look like these mails here and there are a minor thing, but really this is grinding my nerves down, my ability to do usefull work is like cut down to a quarter maybe. Everything takes so much more time in this hostile environment. But in an attempt to remove the grand prize and motive behind this. I will never give any power related to FFmpeg to people who continue with attacks/harrassment/accusations.
I have already stated that all the changes that are needed don't require giving up any power. It only requires you not overriding decisions, and that includes infrastructure.
(more clearly, any future democratication will exclude them permanently for all times) Also the text quoted from me from years ago saying i would support passing power on, has expired now, the community back then also is not the GA now. We today really are much farther away from democratication than back then. Theres a bigger divide between people, less tolerance. This has to change first also about democratication, its not possible with the GA/CC as it is currrently. ATM 3 of 5 seats in the CC are filled by executives or employees of FFlabs. That would make FFmpeg a subsidiery of FFlabs and has nothing to do with democracy (this could actually give less power to the community than it has now)
1) More than 30 people voted for the CC. 2) Simple majority is a normal scenario in a democracy. 3) My employment has nothing to do with what I'd do in the CC.4) I already resigned for the old CC and by extension the new one. This email only further confirms you don't plan to abide to its, or even the GA's, decisions.
Not to mention that the CC is judge, jury and executioner while pretending to be democratic.
You may be mixing "democratic" with "favorable".
