I first got involved with the GNOME Project through the translation team back in 2003, and this involvement has been nice and fun up to a certain point, besides having taught me a number of lessons regarding human relations as well as language issues.
However, in recent months I have seen a range of behaviours which I find indescribably hard to cope with, from people protesting on this very mailing list because they deemed it unfair and prejudicial not to have direct write access to SVN, no matter how carefully my reasoning both as translation coordinator and systems administrator had been exposed, to groups of people acting inside the team with so much independence as to changing internal procedures regardless of my serious concerns having been made public or sometimes my having explicitly stated my opposition and disapproval. For the sake of exemplification, I have been unable to post to the team mailing list for the last couple of months. I am actually quite concerned of what might follow this act, but I still have hope I may be awfully mistaken, for what I foresee is far from making me enthusiastic, but it is already beyond my current motivation to try and fight this, which has been coming for some time, at least from the inside. Therefore, without further due, -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 To whom it may concern, I hereby tender my resignation from my role as Brazilian Portuguese Translation Coordinator in the GNOME Project, and appoint Leonardo Ferreira Fontenelle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to succeed me in this one, particular task. The resignation shall be effective from the moment Leonardo has accepted the duty and this message has been acknowledged by at least one of the GNOME Translation Project coordinators.
