[ros-general] Grievance

[Aleksey Bragin]

Dear Eduardo,
first of all, who are you that *I* have to give explanations to you,  
or listen to your proposals of succesfully destroying the project?

Since I know absolutely nothing about you, and, probably, you know  
nearly nothing about me and the project (yes, of course we held an  
assembly already), I doubt you are entitled to judge me or anyone  
else of ReactOS.

If you would give me some background info about yourself, I could  
care more.


Anyway, closer to the facts, it was a test of our team, how strong it  
is, and what if a teamkiller exists. There were some  
misunderstandings, problems, which are (hopefully) resolved now.
Also, James proposed a good way to officially solve this kind of  
problems in future, however, we agreed on discussing it more with all  
team members to ensure it's good, which would be a must when reactos  
development team grows over a certain limit.

Right now, in case of *any* problem, people should talk directly to  
me first. Lots of problems could go away with just talking first. If  
that doesn't help, then official procedure applies.

The same could have been applied to me (talking first), but I decided  
to take blaming to myself and push Magnus decision myself, without  
involving team members in a process of "Magnus punishment" (since  
this is anti-social behavior). I realized the magnitude of this  
problem, but I didn't think Magnus will go as far as making false  
claims and lie about me. But, again, this happens in big projects,  
and I have experience in that already.

If there is anything else, just ask, but in future, use a more polite  
way of obtaining information.


With the best regards,
Aleksey Bragin
ReactOS Foundation President and Project Coordinator.
