And cooker users became the name of people +who were working with test, discussions, etc, on cooker. + +Mail alias, and ssh/svn access were given to packagers, translators ( ie +"contributors" ), and the other type of contribution, while not +forbidden, didn't really grew ( ie few people contributed artwork, or +communication, etc ). + +Part of the problem was due to the fact that only visible contribution +were seen as technical, and because Mandriva didn't really opened +contributions in some area ( even if, imho, there was no need to wait on +mdv for this ). + +So now, we want to recognize all kind of contribution, which seems to me +a fair goal, as contribution to a project is not only technical. + +People who contribute, whatever they contribute ( except contributing to +my anger ), are contributors. So you are a contributor. + +If we use word in the way most people will expect them, things will be +much clearer to everybody. And the way the word "contributor" was +twisted in Mandriva is something we should avoid, cause it lead people +to think the only possible way to help were technical. + +><i> Reading the 2 descriptions carefully reveals that both groups are +</I>><i> defined very well. It's nowhere written that somebody can not be a +</I>><i> member of both groups (if I could code or package I'd see me in both +</I>><i> groups). +</I>><i> +</I>><i> But this is only my 2K Euros worth. +</I> +Wow, inflation is quite bad in Germany :) + + +-- +Michael Scherer + +</PRE> + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="002509.html">[Mageia-discuss] about the Mageia Code of Conduct +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="002519.html">[Mageia-discuss] about the Mageia Code of Conduct +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#2510">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#2510">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#2510">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#2510">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
