Re: [orbit-dev] What have I done to offend?
Hi, Joel,

Speaking for myself, I did not feel that I had sufficient understanding of what Derby is to provide meaningful commentary on your proposal regarding contribution of those libraries.  It seemed that replying with "sorry, I don't have any comment" would just be noise.  Moreover, Pascal seemed to know enough to make some helpful suggestions, so that really made such a response pointless.

I guess the rule-of-thumb is that absence of response is tacit approval.  After all, we don't have a process for voting-in contributions.  What we do have is a process for voting in committers (bundle maintainers, really) and IP approval of contributions.  The former is initiated by a sponsor, such as ZX with whom you have already discussed participation.  The latter is the "ATO" Contribution Questionnaire in the Portal, which is available once you have been voted in as a committer.

Cheers,

Christian

Hello,

Over the past six months I have initiated two threads with offers to contribute to Orbit, the first on 4 August and more recently on 31 January. Neither thread has led to a meaningful conversation. The first had no reply at all, while the second elicited a couple of technical questions from Pascal Rapicault to which I responded. There were no further replies.

I am left to wonder why. Certainly it is not because nobody has the time to monitor Orbit, as in the past several days there has been copious dialogue around participation. I can only assume that I have done something terribly wrong and offensive to this community. If so, at least tell me what it was so I have an opportunity to apologise and correct my ways.

Thanks,
Joel
