A. I meant hundreds of unnamed people OUTSIDE of linuxtv.org (That IS THE BIG DIFFERENCE): a. The Debian developers for instance doing a very good job b. some many others that I made real positive experiences with in eliminating kernel bugs BEFORE an official kernel release was published c. some many others that I will not mention here B. Wanting a real change does not mean to substitute reality-lost selfish egoists by another kind of selfish egoists. It means real personal changes as far as maintainer's state of mind towards the open source philosophy is mentioned and concerned! C. Unfortunately we all live in a culture of unlimited capitalism that I would call a dictatorship of the capitalist elites which contaminates people's minds and propagates loss of solidarity, loss of spare time, unlimited egoism, selfishness, loss of compromise and so on. D. I do not talk about forking but I prefer to talk about real changes, and those real changes must be personal substitutions in case of linuxtv.org. Forking is just another bad compromise, but absolutely NO solution in the long run as it does not really change any kind of structural necessities which in the end means substituting some counter-productive reactionary people calling themselves the "elite" or even "core maintainer" or even "developer"! DEMANDS: I DO demand the consequent disclosure of the following people: 1. Utmost necessity: Manu Abraham 2. Second utmost necessity: Mauro Carvalho Chehab The option behind is: A. If there are free seats there hopefully will be people volunteering and doing better in the end! B. If the old people DO stay there will be 1. absolutely no change in the end! 2. no people volunteering to do better! Keeping the old reactionary personal structure will mean NO CHANGE in the end! HEADS MUST ROLL, AND THAT'S THE REAL NECESSITY TO MAKE THINGS BETTER! I DO demand the following measurements: a. Limit the linuxtv repository to people who are REAL active in development (Reason: What you do see now is nothing but another hypocritic bad show to improve the hypocritic politician status of Mauro Carvalho Chehab - most of the people having a repository there have been highly inactive for whatever reason, for months, if not to say for years! THIS MUST CHANGE IMMEDIATELY!!) Reason: As a user you do not need any kind of an assembling of dead inactive people but you DO need transparency: You do need to have an idea of who is responsible for what, but you do not need any kind of chaos confirming to the TOYOTA principle going: Everything is possible, and nothing is impossible! In other words: You DO need and expect reliability instead of hypocrisy and bad tricks (i. e. making things look bigger than they are in this case to confirm ones own hypocrisy position!) _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
