[ros-dev] Open-source and newcomers

[Aleksey Bragin]

You do know I don't hate you, rather vice versa, I try to help any  
newcomer.

As Dmitry said, your point of view is slightly biased. Try not to  
engage into argument with everyone, and try to do some analyze: a  
newcomer is a foreigner to our team. A guest. Who is always received  
nice at first. Later, if the guest behaves good, he's benefitting his  
staying. If the guest tries to set some new orders, demand something  
or anything else - he might get a negative perception.

I'm not saying you're doing something wrong, just try to be more  
friendly. Those people spent quite some time, some even a few years  
in the project, in our team, and, believe me, they know something. It  
doesn't give them, or me, or anyone else to treat a newcomer as a  
lower-world person of course! Just for the time being they gained  
some experience in other areas which they would even be glad to share  
with you.

What I want you to be sure about: newcomers, especially as valuable  
as developers are received very good and welcomely. Then, it all  
depends on a particular person, his social abilities, and interaction  
with other members of our team. Which is, in general, very friendly  
(how else could we work for so many years and not ran away?! ;)).


WBR,
Aleksey Bragin.
