I partially agree. The only thing I differ on is the 'taking aside' bit because of the sheer nature of FOSS communities. By nature, mistakes in FOSS communities are public, so is the criticism and so is any praise that comes in as a result of your work. In such a setting, the important attribute is integrity that coachees can demonstrate by stepping up and responding to criticism instead of sitting back and waiting for the fire to burn out. This is more so the case for someone aspiring to be involved in the Ambassador program. Priyanka stepped up and the result was that we are making progress in that thread. I'd like to see Sumantro also step up and clarify and get everyone involved.
