Hi Michael, thanks a lot for the friendly words. Essentially, I do care about community behavior and even more about being truthful and honest. I'm not sure whether I would be a suitable member for the CC. I think these positions need to occupied by persons who are trusted by many in the community and I'm well aware that some have reservations towards me - which I can perfectly understand. I have been loud at times and voiced minority opinions. Others may have longer lists 😊 In general, there are many qualities I have to offer, but I would say that mediation and diplomatic negotiations are not in a top position there. From what I've seen some of the current CC members writing, those guys are much more suitable for the job than I would be. But thanks for suggesting me, sw _______________________________________________ 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".
