* seattlegaucho .oO( valorie's blog was worth reading ... along with the video)18:13
bkerensavalorie: you have a chance to read Jono's blog post?19:35
valorieI looked it over, but not in depth, no23:05
valoriemy impression was that he sort of missed the point23:06
valoriebeing defensive is what is causing the rift23:06
valorieand publicly calling out you and mark: Not Cool23:06
valorieI specifically didn't call out anyone, or called out everyone, depending on how you look at it23:07
valorieI got a chance to listen to the /community session last night and love the concept23:08
valorieit's exactly what we are doing with our kubuntu docs: putting only what is necessary, and linking to everything else23:09
bkerensavalorie: so yeah I agree23:11
bkerensavalorie: while at the same time I wish he would tone down on that video23:11
bkerensavalorie: CoC does not mean that he gets to use it to censor private sharing or discussions I have23:12
bkerensathats not the intent of the CoC... well not the version I signed anyways23:12
valoriethe whole point is that we need to be open about the issues23:13
valoriebeing defensive etc. kills the trust23:13
valoriethe customer isn't always right, but when they are dissatisfied, the one thing you know is that you have a problem23:14
valoriethey are acting like their fingers are in their ears while they sing la-la-la23:14
valorieanyway, I don't want to complain, because that doesn't help23:15
valoriesorry23:15
valorieI like that we are paring down the bureaucracy23:15
valoriebut I'm a bit scared that the leadership meetings will be used to go around the governance committees23:16
valorieI would find that Not Cool23:16
bkerensawell the leadership meetings are supposed to be compromised of the governance23:23
bkerensaI sat one one of the first ones23:23
bkerensaand basically Jono promised more transparency and telling us about stuff23:24
bkerensathen this all happened23:24
bkerensaand when I remind him23:24
bkerensayes the fingers in ears la-la-la23:24
valoriethere are procedures for open-ness23:25
valoriemail lists, blogs, the gov. committees23:25
valoriewhat isn't open is doing everything behind closed doors, and then yelling 'surprise' and expecting everyone to be pleased and happy23:26
bkerensatrue enough23:26
valorieor worse, saying nothing23:26
valorieand expecting everyone to intuit that it's all gonna be OK23:27
bkerensaYou know at LFNW we discussed me getting some harsh PM's23:27
bkerensawell23:27
bkerensawhen I saw that post23:27
bkerensaI was like... really going to bring up disrespect and CoC? After the PM's I got from people at Canonical?23:27
bkerensacome on now23:27
bkerensaits like calling the kettle black23:28
bkerensaThe pot calling the kettle black*23:28
valorieindeed, but that's the point23:28
valoriethey do not see the things they said as equivalent23:29
valoriethat's what privilege does to you23:29
valorieit blinds you23:29
bkerensayeah23:29
bkerensaI'm not saying I'm perfect23:29
bkerensanor saying that whole video thing was ok23:29
bkerensabut23:29
bkerensalets not point fingers especially so publicly 23:30
bkerensawhen your own hands are not very clean of the same conduct23:30
bkerensaI really wanted to leave him a comment23:30
bkerensabut I knew it would come back full circle with more PM's or something23:30
bkerensaso idk23:30
* bkerensa is going to go check on his soap23:30
bkerensa;p23:30
valorieI'll comment eventually23:32
valorieno hurry; you notice how slowly I published the blog23:32
valoriei waited until I was calm, then sweated blood, then waited to publish 23:32
