Effectively today, I am suspending my membership in Arabeyes.
Did I miss something ? Why is that ? If you are busy, then join the
club :-)
You did miss something, that I was always in that club:)
I am sorry. But I don't quite follow you
else I don't quite understand why someone of you caliber and someone that we fully respect and NEED no less is "leaving" (the same goes to 90% of the people on this list BTW).
Theoretically. We don't need developers. We need some people with PhD in political sciences, or at least working no less than 5 years working in aljazeera.
Hehe... true.. but in our little world, Arabeyes.org is much needed. Our children, family and all Arabic speakers needed more than we need it to be technical :).
A person works in a group because the group is more than the sum of its parts. A person stays in a group because the group is at least the sum of its members. When friction losses become more than production, something is wrong. Add to that 'thou shalt' and ..
I would finish your thought by adding " When friction losses become more than product, something is wrong. An escalation of the problem, identification of the problem and resolution development are the next natural steps to this process.
If your piano wheels squeek, add some lubricant and they will go back to doing what they need done. Don't just take them out and drag your piano on the ground. It would be alot more work.
I second Nadims request. We all have a life and we have issues and problems to deal with.
I really hope you reconsider any "leaving" issues. You can certainly cut-back if you so desire, but leaving is such an ultimate decision that it irks me (whatever that's worth).
Then if that how your fell. I strongly you bring you issues forward and we can work on them. If you leave with out giving us the chance to fix what is wrong, more people might leave because of what you have experienced. I think you owe us this at the laest ?
Thanks (you know it's worth a lot). Believe me it is not what I like. I have spent some energy trying to integrate here. I can reconsider if and when things do change. That is not when we use FriBiDi not miniBiDi. That's when we have healthy discussions, give enough reasons, get used to benefit from past experience of people in the wide Arab community and people in the wide open source community, etc. With all due respect, I didn't come to Arabeyes to spend my leisure time resolving problems that are already discussed elsewhere.
And I am not saying I am leaving so as to get my agenda passed. This is exactly the way I don't like to pass things. I am not stopping open source work, neither stopping being Arab, so we got to benefit from one another. Probably I owe an apology to Munzir here, as he was the one who convinced me to join. Well, it didn't work.
No body said that and I am sure nobody thinks it as well.
Salam, Muhammad Alkarouri
How about a nice Sharma and a cup of tea to talk thing over :)
