[Ricardo Cornet <rcornet@xxxxxxxxx>]

I wrote five proposals for opensuse in gsoc. I published a brief summary
of the proposals right here and sit expecting feedback and mentors.

My bad. My  mistake. I was too dreamy and walking on the clouds.

I got a few lines of feedback to my easy yast proposal, but nothing
else. Until yesterday when I was told on a comment on a proposal that I
needed to elaborate more on implementations matters.

That bother me. Because the process as I understood it was me + other
people, debate and ideas and then final draft. To elaborate without any
discussion or contact other than unidirectional comments is not simple
without mind reading  abilities.

I made the proposals short and simple to read, leaving out details until
I got more feedback and could refine them.

I have many ideas between simple/traditional to radical.

I made my proposals deliberately short for the sake of brevity and
simplicity. And also made short for flexibility.
To start with a "from where do we start and how far are we going to go"
approach. A fresh start.

It is opinion that the process is not transparent enough. Not because of
obscurity, but because of distance.

Perhaps my proposals are poor and without merit.
Perhaps my approach and expectations from the process and the community
were set to high.
Perhaps I got it all wrong all the way.

But a the very least I would like to know if that were the case.

Sorry for any broken grammar/english. Its 4:34AM and I have to finish
some other things and prepare to travel. It's Semana Santa holidays on
my country and that means I'm out of the net until at best saturday, at
worst monday. I would like to know your opinions by then if possible.

Thanks for your time.


Ricardo Cornet.
