He has done everything he can to obstruct me from contributing, including attempting to have my foundation membership revoked (620010) in a bug that he didn't even BOTHER to have me CC'ed on until I stumbled on it while spectating on a trustee meeting,and unilaterally dismissing me from the proxy maintainers project, officially for inactivity but confessing on IRC that he just found me difficult to work with. This is, to be blunt, bullshit. When a security bug came in against bopm I was prompt in having it fixed (see bug 631882. Other than that, apart from yielding skypeforlinux to someone who used scripts to beat me to the punch, the other packages were simply dormant upstream and rather than being inactive on those I was simply idling. I might have been difficult to work with, but if that was the real reason I was "fired" it should have been documented on my maintainer bug. The official reason as listed is not accurate. When I informed mgorny of my choice to resign, his words were as follows (as of Nov 12, 2018, pacific time): [13:37:32] I'm resigning from the foundation and severing all ties with gentoo. [13:37:37] Congratulations, you got your wish. [13:47:16] thanks, really appreciated Unfortunately, it appears that his opinion of my worth to Gentoo is not isolated, and since my efforts are not welcome I've decided it's in the mutual interest of myself and Gentoo for me to resign. Since I'm not welcome there's no point in me sticking around and wasting my time. Foundation, please get your books in order, particularly with the back taxes, so that you can get back the respect of the rest of the community. I'm tired of people using the foundation's past paperwork problems as an excuse to disregard and dismiss them.
