Sorry if I was getting rude and thanks for pointing some things out. ... > You (Marcus) have established yourself as irrelevant to me. > I will not presently be supporting you for further advancement > into the CentOS infrastructure if you seek or are proposed for > such, until I see some 'merit' outside of talking ... but I must admit that your above statement is very rude to me. I have started working on the project about 1 1/2 year ago, joined the promo sig and tried to promote CentOS. I personally do not see much sense in a bugtracker despite to distinguish if a bug should be tracked upstream or not. The few bugs left that are 'really' related to the project is something I am willed to look at. Al and I have already started working on the new Website Infrastructure and forum migration with quite a lot success (which can be seen in the wiki). Since March, Al is getting payed by me for his work on the project. I have offered my help on rebuilding the which was not necessary so I have aksed Karan to line out the build process to make it at least transparent as possible (which is necessary in my pov). I am continuously tracking wiki changes and fixing articles. Besides that I have started to talk with Karan about setting up a legal background for the project and offered my help in the GSoC and contributed to the necessary application docs. Besides that I have taken care of the Pulse Newsletter. This, I have all done in my 'free' time and I do not welcome your comments on that. Maybe we are working on different areas but this is not the form of respect I expect form a person like you. Btw. I would rather call myself a pusher not a talker ;) But I have agree on some points. CentOS != Fedora and note meant to be for newcomers (at least in form of contributions) and maybe a 'Board' is not possible on a project like this. But at least contributors should be welcomed and not treated like today and if a 'Contrib' repository is available it should be used as named. Otherwise I would just remove it and suggest EPEL/RPMForge instead.
