While there are situations in which you are right about complaining, the
form of some of your complaints isn't exactly nice many times. The 2
weeks pause probably had been meant to just have you think about this issue.

Nobody is perfect, complaints about conduct can be issued in a simpler
and saner way...
Since I consider your work precious I'd like to see you back after those
2 weeks. Please try to think about how to improve instead on how unfair
this treatment had been.

Jakub,
Luca is exactly right here. The suspension is meant to be a cooling off
period, not a message that says "please resign". So please, both for
yourself and for Gentoo, reconsider your resignation and use the two
weeks to cool off, relax, or whatever. I believe your work is most
important, and I'd hate to lose it over this rather small matter.
If you wish, please contact me privately. I'll discuss anything you
like.

You are one of the most productive devs we have (had...). You've helped me
on more than on occasion.
While I'm sure anybody could build a "the world hates me" case from
selecting a few particular bugzie entries I'm also pretty sure that peoples
personalities will have caused more of an issue here than their actions...
Good luck in the future, enjoy having some free time!

This policy have recently changed as part of an overhaul on retirement
procedures. You'll have to create a new user account and watch the
jakub@gentoo.org as documented in
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/infrastructure/retire-process.xml (See

Oh, wonderful. Thanks so much, really helps and makes a lot of sense
to nuke people from the bugs they've themselves filed.
Bye.

I'm sad to see you go but I can't say that I don't understand you. It has been
great having you shove security bugs our way when needed.
Thank you for your work and best of luck with your future endeavours.

I would be grateful if somebody could refer me to the archive URL of the
message which triggered this episode so I can make a personal judgment
about it?
I don't think I can be receiving all messages posted to this list.
Thanks.

It was posted on -core, so you probably won't be able to read it.

Correct. I was mystified as to why Jakub had received this treatment. During
the relatively short time I have been on this list I have read almost all
the postings. While some ofJakub's postings have certainly been somewhat
acerbic, I do not recall any which I would classify as 'objectionable'.
I just hope we are not going to get overly 'precious' about this CoC thing,
which btw, I note contains the colloquial phrase 'If you screw up ...'.
That sort of lazy slang language has no place in the official document set
of any self-respecting organisation. Might I suggest it be replaced by
something akin to 'If you discover you have made as mistake ...'.
Also I noticed a simple typo: s/noone/no one/ in the previous paragraph.

Thanks for the input, the council already asked us to go over it and
do some rewording/a more positive approach/etc. We'll keep your
suggestions in mind, too.

You might find reading the Debian, and particularly, the Ubuntu Code of
Conduct a worth-while execise.
http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct
http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct
I find it interesting that the mainstream media have also started publishing
Codes of Conduct for their comment blogs.

Yeah, that one has already been mentioned in the discussion about the
CoC. :-)

There's no such thing as it's based on general bad behaviour and not
just a single incident.

Sad to see you go. In my pov you really did a good job.
I hope the ones in charge of bugzilla come with a solution to this.

Man first you devs think it's your god-given right to behave nastily to any
usr, then you get all sensitive about Jakub on bugzilla. That is lame, imo.
Maybe there should be something about requiring a thick skin to be a dev,
since you so clearly require it of usrs.

So who watches the watchmen? IOW who does one take a complaint about devrel
to, and will there be any action?
The classic answer was always "We watch each other," but that's clearly not
working if you are left out of a discussion regarding yourself for 9
months.

On the contrary we warn people about not behaving badly and if that
doesn't help despite many warnings and complaints being filed we finally
take to firmer action which is exactly what have happened in this case.

Complaints about devrel actions should be sent to the Gentoo Council as
I've said several times before regarding this and other devrel
decisions.

Sorry, I am going to have to call bullshit. The only part of that

This sort of e-mail isn't particularly helpful. In essence, you've
baldly called somebody a liar in public, while providing no evidence
to support your allegation. You might get better results if you at
least pretend that you might not have all of the relevant facts (even
if you're sure that you do) and ask for clarification based on what you
think you know. Here's an example: "That last paragraph doesn't seem to
agree with what I've observed, where .... Could you explain where the
discrepancy arises?"

Please do some research before spouting off. Watch the bug-wranglers@
alias for a few weeks (its too late now) to see that jakub tended to
yell and scream and make a bigger mess than he resolved a lot of the
time when it came to bug wrangling.

That's your opinion, which you're perfectly entitled to express. Others
clearly disagree, so there isn't consensus by any stretch of the
imagination. Mine is that the issues he raised should have been dealt with
so that he didn't need to shout, and more importantly that QA was improved.
Which was why he was shouting.
And I'm not spouting off: if you expect us to deal with rude devs, they
should at least be able to accept criticism from the best bug-wrangler you
guys have. If it means someone needs to translate occasionally, so what?
spanky did that pretty well in the cases where I needed help.

Devrel==HR/Personnel imo.
The real point is that bug-wranglers has lost over 50% of it's
effectiveness, again imo. jakub and spanky are the two main guys, and it's
not just the loss of jakub's prodigious work-rate, which kept a lot bugs
from even reaching devs, but the loss of his influence on QA which is a
complete disaster for gentoo.

It was recently said that if you had been the 20th or 30th person to get
sanctioned, you could have just relaxed and enjoyed the vacation time.
But since the CoC is fairly new, and you're the first one (that I can
remember) to get suspended, it stings more than it should.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is don't take it so hard...it's not that
big a deal.

Small correction, just for accuracy's sake: Suspension is under devrel
policy, not CoC. Otherwise, I fully agree with your last sentence.

Ok, I'm going to quote something I wrote on the -core mailing list that
will hopefully help to clear up this misunderstanding about the decision
being based on the new code of conduct.
"Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned CoC at all since it seems to confuse a
few people.
We're not suspending jakub based on CoC but based on a long string of
bad behaviour. That behaviour certainly violates the code of conduct in
many cases but the suspension isn't based on CoC as such but rather the
numerous devrel complaints and warnings he's already received."
In short, the suspension is based on repeated bad behaviour during a
long period of time and despite warning him several times there's been
no improvement in his behaviour. That's why we're calling for a timeout
with this suspension and hoping that jakub will reconsider his
behaviour.

Bryan Østergaard

I'm sorry to see you go. I'm personally requesting for you to
reconsider. Your work has been greatly undermined by certain
developers. You've fixed multiple times more bugs than many of
the devs with actual CVS commit access by simply doing something about
them..
