And complaints about members and friends of the CC are ignored since severa= l years. Now they have become so bold to make outright false claims And still no action, no really, the CC should do its job or the CC should b= e disolved. People asked for the new CC to be given a chance, this is the CCs chance. So far i see more offensive mail being posted after the CC is notified not = less. The CC can stop this, or the CC can allow people to create a pretext for a = fork. (the whole "michael is evil" is such a pretext if its not obvious to anyone) If the CC takes a clear action, this whole drama simply stops. Otherwise i suspect it will lead to a fork eventually. In the fork case they will lea= ve with several others. I think thats a much bigger loss In fact the longer this continues the more people will leave And the final outcome will still not differ, people doing these attacks sti= ll will likely be lost to the project. thx >=20 > On Sat, Jan 25, 2025 at 2:26=E2=80=AFPM Michael Niedermayer > wrote: > > > > Hi CC > > > > please see my complaints inline below > > > > On Fri, Jan 24, 2025 at 09:36:50PM +0200, R=C3=A9mi Denis-Courmont wrot= e: > > > Hello, > > > > > > Le tiistaina 21. tammikuuta 2025, 2.36.47 UTC+2 Michael Niedermayer a= =C3=A9crit : > > > > Hi > > > > > > > > On Mon, Jan 20, 2025 at 10:38:17AM -0600, Marth64 wrote: > > > > > All this time people send back and forth emails attacking each ot= her or > > > > > the > > > > > project could have spent toward investing in modern DevOps infras= tructure > > > > > or discussing other advancements. > > > > > > > > > > It=E2=80=99s energy-draining to both read and write. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > It makes me wonder do folks actually get enjoyment out of the dra= ma? > > > > > > > > not me > > > > > > > > but what can i do? > > > > > > For example, you actually could: > > > > > > - Stop complaining about FFmpeg community members attending conferenc= es and > > > discussing FFmpeg (e.g. VDD 2024). > > > > I have not complained about "FFmpeg community members attending confere= nces and > > discussing FFmpeg".
