So it's time to end this (or if not possible at least postpone it) and draw conclusions. To me there is no value in looking at egos colliding for much longer.You are walking into the middle of a debate that has been raging for years. Possibly all that is constructive to the process has been said. And if not, there has been a full month of discussion time and I do not see any need to extend that indefinitely. There have been very valuable comments on the Titanpads, on ML and on IRC. And there have been personal accusations, aggression and tedious re-iterations of solitary personal positions. The first batch of contributions, we shall incorporate; the second batch I can only advise to ignore. May be that is true for many aspects of Debian.While it seems exhausting (and it is, there's a reason I've been silent through DC15 and up until now), this is how Debian works. For frustrations, for bad, and for good - we debate. But this cannot work for the DebConf. There are deadlines and we work against them. So discussions need to be over when the time for discussion has passed. People need to move on and work on their tasks in the assigned time frames. If everybody misses their deadlines because they are bound in discussions about meta-topics, we'll be in "rolling from crisis to crisis" mode as your husband worded so nicely. And this seems to have burned out people in the past. So we should avoid setting the scene for that again. I find this comment unnecessarily offensive. Bernelle is doing an awesome job.If this is offending your time commitments, then I fear you haven't really evaluated Debian, or DebConf, before you volunteered to lead the charge to host a conference. The unfortunate news I have for you is if you don't have time for *this*, just wait until the final countdown to DC16. There is a difference between wasting time and working effectively towards a desirable target. The folks that I work with for DC16 prefer to reduce the wasted time and increase the effective use of the finite time available. |
