What would often help tremendously is to accept that opinions and wording are highly depending on cultural factors. Obviously we always read and understand everything with our own cultural filter. That often leads to misunderstandings, bashing, disrespect, frustration, etc... Actually it does every single day, including in this project.
+1. It's unavoidable. Twenty years ago I worked in an organisation with +30 different nationalities, we worked with those misunderstandings, bashings, disrespect, frustration, etc every day.
If we want to improve our communication (I mean the communication between the people who care and contribute to the project), that is definitely one thing we should become more conscious of, i.e. before we start an argument, pause and think whether it isn't just a different understanding or background. Not that easy to do though :)
Not at all easy, no. Especially not when most people remain in their own countries most of their lives and rarely even encounter another nationality. I think it's just something we have to live with, TBH. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
