I don't know enough about his case aside from i think there being differences with other devs regarding his GSoC 2015 mentored project for me to comment. ganesh There was no hostility towards him. He basically left after a handful of patches he sent were rejected for technical reasons. and andreas This one i agree with you. While there were some questionable things from his part (like accidentally breaking git head then trying to commit a patch that until then was rejected by more than one developer as condition to get the breakage fixed) there were also some less than ideal and even uncalled for comments regarding his attempts to fix issues from other projects by adding workarounds in ours. > but maybe iam misinterpreting things, iam much more a technical guy > than a sozial one > > but i have the hope that with the higherh awareness about hostilities > we have now and less the CoC (its people not paper that makes a > difference) this could be prevented and maybe undone in the future. We lost Derek, a good long time developer, and Andreas, our debian maintainer, in the span of five months more or less for the same reasons. My hope is, at least as a first step, that those who were related to both incidents from now on realize how damaging a single or a chain of even mildly and unnecessarily hostile emails can be. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
