Hey, so this is notice that I will be leaving DeviceMap. I will be stepping down from the PMC and will no longer continue my duties or contribute to this project.
While there have been a few successful aspects during my time at DeviceMap, as a whole, my experience here has not been good. The majority of my problems stem from the constant arguing, unprofessionalism, and personal attacks from my fellow PMC chair, Werner. Instead of focusing on writing and releasing software, all my time and energy is spent on how to manage Werner. This is not what I signed up for. Sorry to be so blunt here, but I just want to make it clear as to why I am leaving. I could stick around for another year or so and continue with the constant arguments, possibly more waves of personal attacks, get into a version war with the legacy ODDR client, and deal with the constant little reminders of how ODDR client got everything right. All of this while trying to push forward with 2.0. I simply choose to walk away. As for 2.0, I highly encourage this project to pursue 2.0 and evolve, if they wish. At some point in the future, I will likely branch and continue my proposed 2.0 work under a different space, name, and version. Thanks, Reza Naghibi
