schestowitzAren’t pagan beliefs religious? If you are setting up a tree in your house with lights, leaving food out for a mysterious seasonal gift-god, and kissing under mistletoe…you are participating in a religion. If you are going to mass, lighting candles, feasting, and playing with a dreidel, its religion. You don’t have to believe a faith to participate in the practices.Dec 25 18:01
schestowitzHalloween is timed with the equinox, sure. But our human cultures have adapted that time to be religious. Some of the causal origins may be impartial physical events, but not after the human mind filters it.Dec 25 18:01

schestowitzThe insistence of Red Hat to absorb everything they feel is not the job of the kernel into systemd has turned Linux into the nightmare that was Windows NT. Lack of visibility of service startup, an absolutely obtuse set of tools, horrible documentation and the outright arrogance of the systemd crew gives the company a black eye.Dec 25 18:53

schestowitzIf it even boots at all. Systemd halts the boot and presents a prompt for maintenance should it encounter any mount point that fails. This could be a local disk, removable media or a network mount. The latter is utterly unforgivable and shows a complete disregard for an operating system that has made its mark as a reliable server operating system.Dec 25 18:54
schestowitzThink about it, an entire rack of gear goes down in a data center and several boxes are looking for an NFS or SMB mount, but that system has been up for so long that it does a file system check on 10 TB of data. Those systems wanting the NFS are not booting. They’ll all be hung waiting for human intervention unless the admin takes actions to add special systemd parameters to fstab in order to avert this stupidity.Dec 25 18:54
schestowitzFor far more uses cases for Linux, systemd has made the system more complex, less documented and less resilient than for the uses cases where concurrency during boot is required. But hey, if it makes the job easier for the developers at freedesktop.org to manage system settings in a GUI, I guess that is a fair compromise (not like I had a choice).Dec 25 18:54

schestowitzDear colleagues,Dec 26 09:55
schestowitzIn the January Gazette (p.10-11), the Administration reported about the activities of a Working Group they calledDec 26 09:55
schestowitz"Future career system". They claim that this working group has finalised the analysis phase of the project and isDec 26 09:55
schestowitznow working on the main elements of the career reform.Dec 26 09:55
schestowitzThe Gazette article omits to mention an important detail: this Working Group has no Staff RepresentativeDec 26 09:55
schestowitzamongst its members. For the sake of transparency the CSC wants to clarify the status of the discussions inDec 26 09:55
schestowitzthe area of Promotions and Careers and some preliminary remarks on the project. In the Annex we alsoDec 26 09:55
schestowitzcomment on the lack of consultation.Dec 26 09:55
schestowitzFrom the limited information available through the Gazette article and the Intranet, we note that a studyDec 26 09:55
schestowitzundertaken in July 2013 1Dec 26 09:55
schestowitz has led the consultants (Deloitte) to propose a “new” model they call a "CompetencyDec 26 09:55
schestowitzFramework". However, the most striking thing about this proposal is that it is not new: the concept wasDec 26 09:55
schestowitz2Dec 26 09:55
schestowitzconsidered and discarded by the Office several years ago as not fit for purpose . In areas where projects andDec 26 09:55
schestowitzadministrative tasks are the rule (like DG0, DG2, DG4 and DG5) it might be possible that such a model could beDec 26 09:55
schestowitzinterpreted as improving the "harmonisation of job classification". However, its application in DGs 1 and 3 isDec 26 09:55
schestowitz3Dec 26 09:55
schestowitzcompletely inappropriate , and since these DGs account for over 88% of the EPO A-grades (see table), theDec 26 09:56
schestowitzproposal seems both irrational and a waste of Office money on misguided consultancy.Dec 26 09:56
schestowitzThe success of the present career system results from its acceptance as a form of "contract" between the staffDec 26 09:56
schestowitz4Dec 26 09:56
schestowitzand the Office . Staff does not compete for "diplomas" of "titles", but rather, they are rewarded for theirDec 26 09:56
schestowitzcontribution towards the goals of the Office. We believe that the proposed approach jeopardises theDec 26 09:56
schestowitztransparency and the balance of the significant performance related component of the current A-career, and willDec 26 09:56
schestowitzthreaten a well-functioning system which has played a significant role in achieving the Office's increasing levelsDec 26 09:56
schestowitzof performance over the past two decades. The main reason for this increase of performance is the effort ofDec 26 09:56
schestowitzstaff. The promotions they have enjoyed have therefore been earned and are completely consistent with theDec 26 09:56
schestowitzrequirement of Circ. 271 (A-career).Dec 26 09:56
schestowitzThe budgetary quotas -which the EPO claim are part of the career system - are unfair and ignore the legitimateDec 26 09:56
schestowitzexpectation of staff who have otherwise met the criteria set out in current A-career. These constraints are overDec 26 09:56
schestowitz40 years old and were superseded by the present Career jointly agreed between staff and the Office in 2002.Dec 26 09:56
schestowitzThe EPO also seems to have forgotten that original purpose a current A-career was to solve the effect of theDec 26 09:56

schestowitzcase, it would of course solve the budgetary problem...but at the cost of the staff and would have seriousDec 26 09:56
schestowitzimplications on long term motivation.Dec 26 09:56
schestowitzTo address the loss of long term career perspectives, the subtle plan seems to consist of introducing, moreDec 26 09:56
schestowitz"hurdles", in the form of increased requirements and additional promotions grades steps. This will be combinedDec 26 09:56
schestowitzwith more "means to address insufficient performance"7Dec 26 09:56
schestowitz. Models like this, often called “carrot and stick” areDec 26 09:56
schestowitzknown to fail when it comes down to what really matters which is the long term motivation of staff.Dec 26 09:56
schestowitzThe CSC is convinced that before discussing the development of a new career system, the Office must make8Dec 26 09:56
schestowitzunambiguous commitment that any new career will offer (on average) the same "career trend" , as with theDec 26 09:56
schestowitzcurrent system (without quotas). Such a reassurance is of paramount importance for the acceptance of a newDec 26 09:56
schestowitzsocial contract between the Office and the staff.Dec 26 09:56
schestowitzUnfortunately, the latest developments seem to confirm that the Office is preparing to implement its ideasDec 26 09:56
schestowitzregarding a new A-career regardless of the views of staff. The CSC considers this a breach of the obligationsDec 26 09:56

schestowitzincreased to meet demand.Dec 28 19:43
schestowitzThe President continues to claim that he is not responsible, and that he has no means toDec 28 19:43
schestowitzresolve the problems. Neither claim is correct, whilst the ILOAT is not under the directDec 28 19:43

schestowitzDear Mr Battistelli,Dec 29 08:51
schestowitzIn Communiqués, Council documents and statements to staff youDec 29 08:51
schestowitzregularly refer to the social dialogue which you claim to have with staffDec 29 08:51
schestowitzrepresentation. We have repeatedly raised concerns regarding theDec 29 08:51
schestowitzdisparity between what you communicate to staff and others, and ourDec 29 08:51
schestowitzexperiences of the dialogue between yourself and the Staff Committee.Dec 29 08:51
schestowitzWe strongly support the concept of dialogue as a means to addressDec 29 08:51
schestowitzissues of concern to staff and solve problems in the interests of allDec 29 08:51
schestowitzparties, However, the reality we have experienced in discussions withDec 29 08:51
schestowitzyou, is an interlocutor who does not reply to letters, refuses to provide theDec 29 08:52
schestowitzessential data, imposes specific compositions on the CSC delegations,Dec 29 08:52
schestowitzignores the concerns of staff, and pushes unilateral solutions to dubiousDec 29 08:52
schestowitzor poorly defined problems. In addition, your behaviour during theDec 29 08:52
schestowitzmeetings has sometimes been dismissive and disrespectful towards staffDec 29 08:52
schestowitzrepresentatives.Dec 29 08:52
schestowitzIn our view the "social dialogue" you offer is an illusion, with which we areDec 29 08:52
schestowitzno longer willing to co-operate. We do not consider that this “socialDec 29 08:52
schestowitz Grasserstr. European Patent 9Dec 29 08:52

schestowitzGermanyDec 29 08:52

schestowitzinto believing that bona fide discussion has taken place.Dec 29 08:52
schestowitzwww.epo.orgDec 29 08:52
schestowitz- 2 -Dec 29 08:52
schestowitzIn practice we often cannot reconcile the documents you present forDec 29 08:52
schestowitzapproval to the Council with our understanding of the basis behind theDec 29 08:52
schestowitzworking groups. We have also noticed an increasing tendency to pushDec 29 08:52
schestowitzproposals through the formal approval process, regardless of opposition,Dec 29 08:52
schestowitzand often at very short notice.Dec 29 08:52
schestowitzMany of your proposals have seriously eroded the rights of staff. ADec 29 08:52
schestowitznumber of recent proposals also undermine fundamental rights protected,Dec 29 08:52
schestowitzinter alia, under international conventions. Examples of these are yourDec 29 08:52
schestowitzproposals regarding sick leave control and regulation of strikes.Dec 29 08:52
schestowitzOur views in this respect are reflected in the opinion of staff as found inDec 29 08:52
schestowitzthe results of the recent survey undertaken by the CSC. In this the levelDec 29 08:52
schestowitzof trust in senior management is alarmingly low, and information from theDec 29 08:52
schestowitzstaff representation remains the most important source of information forDec 29 08:52
schestowitzstaff. Respondents to the survey also clearly rejected the view that yourDec 29 08:52
schestowitzadministration is engaging in bona fide social dialogue.Dec 29 08:52
schestowitzWe feel that the current situation misrepresents the role of the StaffDec 29 08:52
schestowitzCommittee in the working groups and meetings, whilst at the same timeDec 29 08:52
schestowitzpermits you to sell the outcome of such discussions as the result ofDec 29 08:52
schestowitzdialogue, which it is not. Under the circumstances we inform you that weDec 29 08:52
schestowitzwill not attend the planned meeting between yourself and the CSC onDec 29 08:52
schestowitzFriday 28th June.Dec 29 08:52
schestowitzIf you reconsider your current proposals, and are willing to enter into aDec 29 08:52
schestowitztrue dialogue, we remain at your disposal. We would also like to reiterateDec 29 08:53
schestowitzour view, that any such dialogue must also involve SUEPO and ideally beDec 29 08:53

schestowitz"SailfisOS really does not spy on any data. You can use Android apps that run in a sandbox. They can be allowed or denied access to contacts. The limitations of the operating system affect the workflow. F.e. copying text from e-mails is not possible, from web pages it is difficult. It is sometimes difficult to hit an input field in the browser. When zooming, the buttons sometimes do not seem to scale correctly. CalDav/CardDav has problemsDec 30 07:23

schestowitzThe main annoyances for me are that you can’t cut and paste from the email client as Ingo already mentioned. The second is that there is no support for encryption (OTR or OMEMO) in the inbuilt chat client and the lack of PGP support in the email client. These are the only reason I occasionally contemplate android apps, but then I don’t use the chat client enough and not many of my email partners use PGP anyway.Dec 30 07:25
