Re: Who moderates users...@openoffice.apache.org?
Hello Jörg, please read what Matthias really wrote. There is _no_ sentence "Jörg is a liar." written by hin. So it is your own and very special allegation he might called you a liar. I wrote: "we know that you have another point of view regarding facts than some other participants of this list." And I think recently that's true. Matthias gave an interpretation of the term "another point of view regarding facts" to such an extent I would have called you a liar (if I would use the wording of "the old times"). He only interpreted my expression in the sentence above. But this interpretation is very one-sided and narrowing because I respect " Hanlon’s Razor". I would never presume a lie, if there are many other explanations for a behavior. To finish the discussion on my side: You should also try to differ between censorship and repression and a friendly minded "si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses".

In constitutional states, there are also certain limits to freedom of expression that are set by the legislature. Perhaps you should think about how you would feel about being called a "liar", as you know that some of your clients are reading along here. greetings, Jörg - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Hi Kay, Thanks for your input. Yes, I also remember those pre-Apache days. Since 2001 moderators have been contactable via owner- address. Unless things get really out of hand, I do not think it is necessary to involve the PMC group of members, just allow moderators to do their job and manage mailing list issues. I have been sorely tempted to put on my "Moderator Hat" and step in on some aspects of this thread, but since I personally contributed to part of the commentary I felt it more appropriate for me to step back and allow another moderator to handle things, if they chose to do so. However, I would ask that now everyone here has vented their thoughts and grievances to the list, can we please put our differences aside and move on. Remembering that we are all posting here in the common interest of taking the AOO project forward, even if we have different ways of expressing that interest. Thanks and kindest regards to you all.

I will certainly not stop expressing my opinion freely, even if the current PMC obviously wants me to. At least as a committer, I have binding rights and duties, and that includes the right to express my opinion, but not the duty to remain fearfully silent to the PMC.

Since moderators are unidentified, I cannot say with any certainty if it is still the case, but I have reason to believe that in years past there have been one or more moderators who were not also committers. It's not clear to me how that is/was possible, but Rob Weir advised me of this when I first became a moderator. I would very much appreciate that you stop publicly lecturing me about how the ASF is structured. I joined this project at the same time as you and possibly a little before you.

I had given my assessment of this by PM and I am happy to repeat it here: "a PMC of a free project should be inspired by a spirit of freedom, openness and fairness to all, and not play tactical games like a business club where personal goodwill counts more than performance." > Sorry I don't know what you mean with "inside knowledge". Some tasks > have to be handled by the PMC only (e.g., people issues, > binding release > voting, trademark) . This is the rule that comes from the ASF itself. It is certainly not a rule of the ASF that a PMC is the place to make appointments to harm parts of the (general) community by poaching volunteers from them. Or do you think I am so simple-minded as to believe that poaching D. from the ProOO-Box was not discussed in advance? And if you think such 'tactical games' are right, at least ask yourself what the balance is. In any case, my conclusion is: the ProOO Box has lost an active contributor (and there was a bad atmosphere, which I very much regret), but the project still does not have a finished flyer. So both sides (de-AOO and ProOO-Box) have only suffered damage. > Or what do you expect from me? mayby your advice as a community and PMC member on how I should behave. > When you have a topic to discuss that affects the PMC, then > you have to > talk with the PMC. It is pointless to talk to the PMC because it refuses to even question its own inappropriate thinking and behaviour and understands every sufficiently noticeable criticism as an attack and emphasises things completely wrongly as a defence. For example, when I turned to private@ a long time ago to suggest certain personnel changes, the reaction was not constructive but an attack on my person with the insinuation that I wanted to speak disparagingly about the performance of individuals. The specific comparison made to me (which I do not wish to repeat publicly here) was in bad taste.

The self-image of the AOO-PMC is different, as I have often experienced. my mistake, in the past, was to compare the PMC with a "leadership" in the conventional sense (which is why I was also irritated by PMCs with a large number of members in other ASF projects).

Possible. however: I just think things are a little different, because I have been observing for years that secrecy is becoming increasingly Secrecy (in German i mean: "Geheimniskrämerei") here in the project, when we should actually be cultivating openness and developing it further. The, so to speak, radical [1] publicity/openness in ASF projects was once very surprising for me, in the meantime this publicity/openness, at least in AOO, is eroding more and more and this is damaging us (imho). In a free project, no one should be afraid to stand up for their opinion in public and everyone should also be prepared to face public criticism of their work (and possibly their person). Jörg [1] e.g. the fact that many ASF project members react with, consciously, annoyance when you write things to them by PM that you can also write on a mailing list, is for me an expression of this, because the tenor of this kind of reaction is also (to my mind): write as much as possible publicly and only in really exceptional cases by PM. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Not really. In concrete terms, it is probably the case that a spammer has registered regularly on the list, misusing the address of a third party.

If your statement is true, then we and the ASF have a very serious and extreme privacy challenge here: https://people.apache.org/committers-by-project.html#openoffice In my view anyone who "steps up to he plate" for ANY role in an OPEN source project should not have any concerns about being identified a contributor and their role that project.

So it would be the first time for me to do such a job. I've tried to unsubscribe the mail address. But maybe it was not successful as I'm not a moderator for that list. BTW: It's the default contact address from a German bank. IMHO it is obvious that this is not really used for sending / getting mails about OpenOffice. Thank you for recognising the situation. I wrote all this to Michael by PM and got only general words in reply and no solution. Yes, I understand if Michael doesn't have time, but the problems of the lack of moderation of "users...@openoffice.apache.org" have existed for years, and for years I have been pointing it out again and again, because I don't understand why something that concerns us all is not also something where everyone's opinion should count. What is the issue? I think it's normal to run a mailing list the way mailing lists are normally run, which is that participants have to register. Where this is not respected, the mailing list is ineffective for all concerned (both questioners and helpers). I'm not saying that there shouldn't be exceptions sometimes, but that should be limited to individual cases and not become the norm.

I can only describe my situation quite openly: I wrote to Michael by PM because I know him as a moderator. Unfortunately, Michael's reaction was that he felt disturbed by my PM and stressed that there were other moderators. I then wrote to dev@ again, because it needs a solution and not just nice words. > I have asked before why the PMC does not wish moderators to be > identified, but never received any rational answer.

I wrote to you very clearly by PM (and in German) that it is about a presumed list account (i.e. a regularly registered participant in the list) who is spamming. Such emails from registered users are not submitted to the moderators at all. Or am I mistaken? Why don't you simply check whether "i...@dkb.de" is registered on the list and if so, delete this registration? It is also NOT( about a ban on which you should decide alone, but about an email address of the "Deutsche Kreditbank Aktiengesellschaft" which is obviously being misused and where the "Deutsche Kreditbank Aktiengesellschaft" would be happy if this were stopped. I have written all this, in essence, by PM, but you only make completely general statements that presumably ignore the concrete situation. (I write "presumably" because you keep secret from me whether my presumption is correct. Why I don't understand). greetings, Jörg - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
