Re: [board-discuss] Plone site & grief
Hi Andi, *, I think this might be a good occasion to ask our CoC volunteers for help (in Cc) - some sort of moderation is perhaps possible? My offer to get on the phone still stands; but it seems (from the below) I'm also party to the problems, so perhaps best if taken to a more neutral ground (CoC committee).

The member communicated in public about the work I had done for about seven years, without take in account to discuss the situation or requests with me first (and get some additional information). This make it explicit for me, that I shouldn't be part of the discussion and it descredits my previous work publicly (thus pilloring). I see this as a line of communication infringements. Because of a mistake that I did with the administration of the Content Management System in 2012 I was pointed regularly onto this mistake for about three or four years. I felt impeached to communicate destructively some month ago, although I spent a lot of my spare time over the years to attend events on behalf of TDF/LibreOffice to spread the word about the project and its pros. After some rethinking I had the impression it helped, if I narrowed my engagement to the administration of the extensions and templates website. But then I got this thread on the design list. Thus I was disenchanted, that my work inside the project had a real value especially for the board. There were no real excuse for this communication style later. The response to my email three weeks after the thread included second part (the 'but message'), which were the real message (no real apologize, but another threat).

[board-discuss] Plone site & grief (was: Topic for design team to investigate: Content hosting consolidation on ask.libreoffice.org)
Hi Andi, first off, I'm very sorry these things seem to have taken a turn for the worse. I'm trying to move this part of the discussion now off the design list, and onto board-discuss, as it seems to primarily deal with interaction style, within & from the board. So Fup2 board-discuss please. Beyond some details below, where I'd love to get to is getting over personal gripes eventually (on all sides - happy to call you any time, to hear what you'd expect here!); perhaps with a way to keep you engaged with the community you've helped building, but at least with a way for the project to keep the Plone sites running properly for the while. Andreas Mantke wrote: > There were no real internal discussions with the board about issues. > Not to put too fine a point on it - but we discussed the issues around the queue of pending submissions e.g. in January & February this year, on the infra/hostmaster list. Also in 2016, a discussion not too different from the one here took place inside the board, when looking for options to go beyond the first version of the template & extension site. > But afterwards I was kicked out by this thread.

In fact, without the original Plone sites, LibreOffice wouldn't have had a templates & extension repo for a long time, and no one disputes the relevance of that. What we're trying to do here, is to move beyond the sole-developer / sole-admin situation that is manifest since quite a few years (and I can well believe how much of a personal burden that must have been). I therefore hope we can all agree that the current setup is not very sustainable, and work constructively from there. All the very best, -- Thorsten signature.asc Description: PGP signature
