i don't know probinson, nor have i ever interacted with him. i've read this thread, and what i could find online. something doesn't smell at all right here. there's a consistent message *i* get from what *i* read that there's a long-time, valued contributor being unfairly targeted here. if that's wrong or not, who knows? apart from the actual details of all this -- which _still_ remain opaque -- the way in which this is being communicated is doing unnecessary reputational damage. to BOTH probinson and to FESCO. is that really lost on FESCO? this is being badly handled. and if there WERE a corporate legal entity involved, this would be a far less pretty affair than it already is. for the company. imo, not that anyone's asked or cares, it'd be helpful to: -- STOP dragging someone's name one-sidedly through the mud publicly. -- IMMEDIATELY have FESCO step up and communicate 'openly', AND responsibly, to the community at large what is going on here, fall on it's proverbial sword for any mishandling, and get out in front of this. -- In particular, if there's been 'self dealing' -- in typical board-speak -- namely, someone ON the FECSO that's been vocally involved/influential 'behind closed doors' and voting on this, then that -- too! -- should be immediately disclosed. and dealt with, as it's highly inappropriate, at best. -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
