schestowitz__"sort of planning" is a typo; "any sort of planning" is what was meant.Feb 16 05:07
schestowitz__However, "Zeppelin and his fateful" isn't supposed to be "Zemlin" or "faithful". There's nothing faithful about the people he's dealing with.Feb 16 05:07

tedbox"I know. However, outreach is anti Open Source and anti FLOSS as well. It's a hole for bad politics to infect Open ecosystem."Feb 16 05:57

tedboxAll I'd like to say on that matter is that while I neither 100% agree with or even qualify for their program, as someone currently going through a tough time and could use a program like that, just shut up. Anything that gets people the help they need, into programming, and into using open source software is a good thing. Feb 16 05:57
tedboxIMHO, it doesn't really matter WTF they do while learning and interning because, if they're passionate enough, they'll be into programming and using that same open source software in their free time and the next thing you know you have a bunch of people like tildearrow doing kwin-lowlatency (just an example of a random person forking a major project and doing something about something because they're passionate about it).Feb 16 05:57
tedboxAs far as politics goes, if a person really needs to be told to tolerate others and not to refer to entire demographics of people as faggots and bitches in public, damn, that's on them for being a piece of shit person. Oh, and note the key phrase of in public -- because no one gives a flying fuck what you say and do at home. We just don't want to be in the line at the grocery store and have to deal with bigotry while getting the stuff for tacoFeb 16 05:57

tedboxA people? Yes! However, this stupid program discriminates a lot of people.Feb 16 05:58

tedboxDo you remember there were some Open Source meeting planned in Gdańsk in Poland? Someone decided it's a bad place, because lgbt aren't treated well in Poland. This proves you're totally wrong. If someone successfully uses lgbt bullshit argument to decide about Open Source meetings then fuck this! Furthermore, there were no single proof of a bad treatment. There's a law in Poland which demands people to not be naked in public places and there Feb 16 05:58
tedboxare some other regulations about civilized behavior. If lgbt can't follow civilized rules then it's not our problem. If someone uses this against Open Source he should be banned.Feb 16 05:58
tedboxPs. I'm for people who benefit from outreach (and if some of the Phoronix members benefit from it, it's even better), but I'm against using them in politics. This makes outreach look bad.Feb 16 05:58
