Hi all,
FYI: On behalf of the board I sent an email to Linda last monday to settle things and have her ban lifted. Awaiting her reply.
Any comments, discussion off-list please. The opensuse@opensuse .org ML is meant for support, the correct place to let your opinions known to the openSUSE board is by emailing board@opensuse.org.
I actually like to see people's opinion expressed here too, especially on such matters.
#MeToo ;)
Keeping things 'silent' is common practice in private corporations of moneymakers, not in communities of people.
And. This *list* is not for people's opinions. We have offtopic for that. *most* of the developers and packagers already shy away from this list due to off-topic traffic and flames. perhaps we should merge this list with offtopic and start a new list, opensuse-help.
Isn't that kind of the nature of conversation between people though? It feels like it's extremely rare that I'm involved in conversations of any length that start and end on the same topic without any deviation, especially as multiple people are involved at the same time.
Unfortunately with email, it's harder than just moving a thread on a forum; the conversations get all mixed up, people come into the conversation in the middle, and some folks just miss the "transition to off-topic" entirely. Especially since many people join the conversation at different points along the way, or reply to older versions of the thread than the current "most recent post."
So to me, saying "move this to offtopic" isn't really effective on a busy mailing list with a lot of traffic and active posters.
Absolutely. I am sure that you would have heard this one before and I would suggest that this applies in this list: "To a man with a hammer everything is a nail" :-).
