Re: [jira] [Commented] (OFBIZ-12489) Product Prices - VIEW permissions

Michael,

I told you before in (other) tickets to stop trolling me through your
complaints in the tickets I am working on. You continue to do this.
Your remarks about you not committing the code contributions of
unprivileged contributors are totally inappropriate.  Not appropriate in
ticket comments, nor in the mailing lists of the project. Nobody is
strong-arming you to commit or merge improvements. Nobody is expecting you
ever will.
Stop trying to pressure fellow contributors, collaborating to improve
OFBiz, to follow your dictate by your attempt to frame a narrative that
there is an agreement about how contributors are to contribute what, where
and when.
Such narrative is solely intended to dictate the direction of the project
for your self serving purposes, resulting in alienating fellow contributors
from collaborating in the OFBiz project to get improvements into its
repositories.

There has never been such an agreement on how, what, where and when to
contribute in the OFBiz community. Nor on the specific subject of what the
correct translation label that is to be used in OFBiz screens and forms.
No discussion on that latter subject has ever been started on the dev
mailing list, nor is there any series of postings on that list that could
lead to someone being able to claim that a kind of consensus could be
derived from such a thread.

It appears, IMO, that you don't want what is for the good of the public
through the deliverables of the OFBiz project.
Your business needs and goals are not the concerns of the project, nor the
concerns of the contributors not paid by you(r company).
You keep your Ecomify rules re OFBiz to yourself and for your employees,
instead of presenting them as rules (or agreements) of the project. In this
project there are no such 'contribution' rules.
There are only guidelines, and precedents established over time within the
project. And these indicate that anything goes.

If you want to change what the way is how contributions are done to the
project, you start a discussion on the dev mailing list of the project and
work that discussion towards a consensus. Alternatively you follow the lead
of what many of your fellow privileged contributors do in this project
nowadays.

Again: s*top trolling me*. You bring nothing new to the tickets I am
working. Keep your complaints to yourself, or use them to create a positive
change to the project that will make OFBiz more appealing, more
trustworthy, attracting a greater diversity of contributors instead of a
negative change.

If you want to improve OFBiz, go work the tickets that have your name as
the assignee to a successful conclusion (or take those of the contributors
paid by your company, or - if that is all done - take those that are
unassigned as there are plenty of possibilities there), instead of
harassing fellow contributors and me collaborating to improve OFBiz.

I just want to make it clear to anyone reading that actually yes, there has
been discussion in the past about understanding the context of labels and
that the same word in English can mean different things depending on that
context. For this reason labels shouldn't be merged when they are used for
different contexts, ideally the label key would be clear about the context
a label is being used in.

Michael is currently one of the few committers actively performing code
reviews and to claim he is trolling is an insult to the time he is
volunteering and achieves nothing but to harm the project and community.

My two cents.

Regards
Scott

My thanks goes out to those members of the OFBiz PMC who recognised (and
agreed with me) that volunteers feeling attacked ("trolled") by feedback of
PMC and ASF Member Michael Brohl is detrimental to the health of the
project,.

His behaviour, as displayed in various comments on tickets and pull
requests over the past two months, has caused engagement of and healthy,
constructive discussions between collaborating volunteers to not only
decline, but also swing like a pendulum. Making it more difficult for
collaborating contributors to come to conclusions and consensus to move
forward.
Thanks for recognising, like me, that the heated and fruitless debates
caused by this behaviour is a waste of my and fellow contributors' precious
time.

I trust that talks within the PMC has shown Michael the error of his ways,
and can learn from this.. And I hope that, now this has been addressed, the
community can come back together and get healed. Leading to more happy
collaborations working towards a better community and its works with each
of the engaging interactions.

I also thank the members of the ASF who stepped up and advised the members
of the OFBiz PMC, regarding the inappropriate behaviour of Michael Brohl.

Pierre,

The OFBiz PMC has reviewed your complaints and has received some advice
from various ASF members: with this response we are implementing some of
those.
The PMC considers troublesome the fact that you feel attacked ("trolled")
by the feedback you receive by Michael (and possibly others) and that you
consider the feedback being "inappropriate", because it prevents any
possibility to discuss your contributions in a constructive manner, it
leads to heated and fruitless debates that may be unhealthy for the OFBiz
community and a waste of time for its contributors.

The PMC has thus decided to ask the project's volunteers (PMC members,
committers and contributors) to put "on hold" or reject or disregard any
of your contributions, such as code, documentation, mailing list discussions
etc. and close Jira issues and pull requests that are not straightforward
and require further interactions/discussions with you before they can be
approved or accepted.

On behalf of the Apache OFBiz PMC,

Jacopo
