[Erp5-users] Installing on Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04

[Bartek Gorny]

I've been around for a long, long time. I've been watching Boris send
patches to the mailing list, give you advice based on his experience
with ERP5, maintain packages for other distribution, give other ERP5
users a helping hand. He is doing the job a community of an open
source project is supposed to do.

Patches he sends - you nearly always ignore. When he does some really
useful work, you claim you have done it before and in a better way
(which is often simply not true). And now you are slandering him for
"negative contribution", whatever that means. Do you call this
"motivating"?

Currently, Boris is the only person who does this kind of things. In
other words, the community headcount of ERP5 is exactly ONE (ok, we
could add me and Vera to the list, which makes three - wow!). It is
not something an OS project should be proud of...

You talk a lot that contributions are welcome, that you are going to
help community etc. But when the real community shows up and tries to
contribute, it does not seem to be welcome...

In the end, we (Luke, Rafael, Lucas, Romain) do the work and all we get from you is a negative contribution . Not very motivating.
