I'm not sure if you read my reply, but it was not meant at all as going down on the people. I realized it was understood as such and apologized, and apologize again here. > On 11/02/13 14:49, Alexis Ballier wrote: > > All of this because ~10 people cannot work together, well, really, > > thank you :) > > May I point you that ~10 people were the majority of what was FFmpeg, > thus 10 people were enough to demote democratically the so called > Leader and that guy got the name from Fabrice as his personal > decision? > > I'm perfectly happy to develop my code as long I'm not dragged in the > mud with outlandish statement or people annoying the hell of me > because they want to force me to merge because would be so better. It would be better. Nobody wants to force you to do anything though. I guess that answers my question on a possible reopening of the discussions. > Well, you are talking to one of the two guys that spent about 3 months > behind the scenes trying to compose the situation before it ended with > the in theory normal demotion of a so-called Leader by democratic > means.
