I was wondering if you have plans to join another project? (just curious)
I've got invitation of participation from OpenSuse,Arch, Korora, Mageia
welcoming with open arm and promise of less bureaucracy and more
leverage doing what needs to be as well as ears willing to listen to my
ideas and make them happen so I guess contributors like me are hot on
the market and I must have done something right all those years but and
after constantly swimming against the Red Hat current ( the latest being
the timer migration ) and the sacrifices I have made for the project my
energy is quite spent so honestly I'm not so sure I will ever contribute
to FOSS in general ever again.
I literally put my heart and sole into Fedora all those years and I have
learned the hard way what happens when you do and which rewards you get
in the process so I'm going to take my time re-charging my battery and
most likely digg deeper into the works of American theoretical physicist
named David Bohm and René Descartes which I accidentally came across
when figuring out the mathematical solution how we could re-trace an
component within one product on a one release cycle tied to a re-basable
coreOS platform ( as in to which release it belong to ) and that
re-base being tied to the kernel release cycle ( took me about a week to
figure the solution for that ) as well as how we could calculate/keep
tab on multiple product doing this simultaneously ( took me four weeks
until I the solution for that hit me ) which are one of those things you
need to figure out when delivering multiple products ( it's going to be
interesting to see what solution those driving the .next and wg effort
plan on coming up with solving those problems ).
One thing I would like to do in the long run if an urge to scratch an
itch reappears is getting out of my head and on a piece of paper the
ideas for community improvements I have and have gather with all my
years of involvement and experience I gained in Fedora with my community
involvement and felt Fedora has needed all those years, many of which
are problems that can be applied to other distributions and their
community and in the end would benefit the linux ecosystem in whole.
My brief introduction to what I had in mind with individuals with
various distribution as well upstream projects, got positive responses
and request for more outlined and formalized form of an proposal so they
could introduce it to their communities.
If and then when I finished that it wont go unnoticed since it will
eventually land itself on the frontpage of lwn due the scale in the
changes how we do and run things as communities and the required joint
effort ( with the exception of participation from Fedora since I know
for fact now that it wont work, one of those things Fedora could have
lead and put an actual meaning back into first in our foundation)
achieving that regardless if you are a distribution or an upstream project.
As we vikings say I have a lot of iron's heating in the forge, Time will
tell which ones I pull out and start shaping and what comes out of it
when I do.
