I agree with the large majority of people on this thread. Paul’s obsession with another person on this list is bizarre. I’ve witnessed numerous blog posts, dozens of attacking tweets, attempts to get others to dog pile, sexualized attacks, references in podcasts, and an ongoing campaign to end his career. It’s really disgusting and disturbing that he’s still respected in your group. I think he needs help.
No wait, none of that was Paul. That was a “former project representative and community figure” who isn’t a member of FIG so considers himself unaccountable. Convenient that. If I recall correctly, the first time FIG (under a different name) sat down together was at tek 2009, an event I co-organized. It was awesome how y’all came together and worked towards shared standards and eventual interoperability. It was amazing. And I was ecstatic that tek was the place you did it. Those early efforts made Composer and Packagist possible and sparked this PHP renaissance and should be commended. But that’s being washed away by this group’s recent shenanigans. Ignoring your own rules, (dis)qualifying votes based on whim, ”governing” by undocumented agreements at conferences, and “governing” at all. That was never your role, responsibility or mission. This isn’t about Paul. This is about someone calling you on your bullshit. If you have a process, follow it. If you’re not going to follow it, at least be honest and get rid of it. Or fade into irrelevance. keith -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PHP Framework Interoperability Group" group.
