I've been using Mageia/Mandriva +for years, +and so I'll keep it on my disk for another two or three days. + +Let me tell you about my day. I go to work, I work for 12 hours a day. I +come +home. On a good day, I have maybe an hour or two to work on my hobby. +I might have a few hours to work on weekends. But I have a *job* and +*kids*. + +I find coding relaxing. I find packaging relaxing and educational. I've +actually +learned a lot about rpm. I've also learned a lot about how cinnamon works. + +But I have a *job*. Here I'm a volunteer. I got cinnamon working for my +own +amusement. if I have to spend lots of time keeping track of e-mail +discussions, +then I'm just not going to have the time to do anything "real." I find +coding *fun*. +I find office politics and taking orders *not fun*. + +And I've been quiet, because I'm a newbie. I keep my mouth shut, and watch +what's going on before I say anything. If I feel like I fit in, I stay. +If not, I don't. + +I have a dozen or so packages in the queue. I've been working with the +Fedora +to get a python to rpm conversion script working, and I have about a dozen +python packages that are ready to be uploaded. I'm interested in creating +a first +rate platform for astronomy. I've got ds9 working. I've packaged glamor, +and I've +gotten an open source ati driver working for Radeonsi. I want to start +packaging heavy duty astrophysics code on Mageia. + +If you find this useful. Then take it. If not, I'll find somewhere else. +Say thank you +and smile at me, and I'm a sucker, and I'll keep doing it. + +But remember I have a *job*. If this starts feeling like *work* then +there's no +reason for me to be here. I'll put up with some politics if it means +getting something +useful done in the end, and I'll spend a lot of time if I learn something, +but my +time is precious, and I could have been spending the last hour trying to +get some +more themes packaged rather than writing useless e-mail (and I hate e-mail, +I get enough of this non-sense at work). + +I've been using Mageia/Mandriva for years, so I'll wait a few days before +wiping +my disk to see how people react. I'll keep packaging and debugging stuff. +I +*will* work on cinnamon, because I think it's a cool desktop. There is one +major +bug, that I'd like to help fix. You can't tell me to stop working on +cinnamon. + +You can keep cinnamon out of the distribution, but that's up to you..... + +Also, in case someone wants to have a discussion rather than *ordering* me +to do something.... + +I really don't think that cinnamon is ready for Mageia 3. There are some +pretty +major bugs in it, and it's not ready for prime time. It would be useful to +keep it +in the testing section, and then target it for Mageia 4. I do think it +would be a +good idea to at least start looking at alternatives to Gnome 3 since they +are +self-destructing, and I've been *extremely* impressed by cinnamon (minus two +annoying bugs which I'm trying to fix). +-------------- next part -------------- +An HTML attachment was scrubbed... +URL: </pipermail/mageia-dev/attachments/20121126/9e13deab/attachment.html> +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="020296.html">[Mageia-dev] Distrib-coffee will down tonight +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="020311.html">[Mageia-dev] Mageia-dev Digest, Vol 27, Issue 85 +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#20301">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#20301">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#20301">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#20301">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
