Hi Robin,
Robin Shepheard
I have considered attempting to contribute to openSUSE with the limited skills I have from some time now, however the tone of the mailing list has been incredibly disconcerting. I know that as an Aspergers sufferer I may not be the best gauge for other peoples reactions but the infighting has been a major discouragement.
This is not related to Aspergers, I find the tone on the mailinglists insufferable most of the time as well and started outright deleting most threads. I would therefore ask everyone to take Robin's email seriously and consider their communication-style in the future. The toxicity is costing us contributors and actively hurting the project. * snip *
If there is anything I can do to help please let me know.
Stay, contribute and spread a positive & welcoming atmosphere in the
channels where you feel comfortable.
Cheers,
Dan
