If Apache people feel that my technical abilities are not relevant, and that what should matter in whether I am allowed in as a cxfire committer is how willing I am to tow the party line, then I shouldn't be on that list. Apache would be the first organisation I've joined (or might have joined) that did not judge me on technical merit; quite an irony considering the whole meritocracy approach that Apache claims. This is, astoundingly, my first experience of being judged not on technical merit, but on random blathering that serves no particular purpose than ranting for ranting's sake.
To be honest, technical merit counts not a bit, if the person is so disruptive to the community as to stagnate or destroy the communal, collaborative nature central to the ASF. So, to be blunt, we would prefer someone with "adequate" skills who gets along with people and works well with people rather than a top-notch code monkey who is a super prick. And no, I'm not implying that you are one of those at all. Just making a point. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
