I think there where more cases than GSoC itself rather a general opposition to some network / ffm / ffserver related work. Leaving several areas unmaintained now as a result. IMO no matter how much one disagrees with someone elses work if one doesnt intend to do a better job oneself, one should be humble and polite with critique or at least not "shit at one" until he leaves > > ganesh > > There was no hostility towards him.

IMHO our failure as a community was IIUC that we failed to make him part of our team / be more welcoming instead we argued publically if he should have a git write account. And we failed to "mentor"/"help" him to work on something he liked and we needed. What happened was he did good work that was rejected because we kind of didnt need/want it.
