Linux-Noob Forums

Quote:"Last week, the Gentoo project entered the lowest point of its 7-year old existence. The single most telling statement attesting to this fact is this brief excerpt from the current issue of Gentoo Weekly News. 'The following developers recently joined the Gentoo project: Daniel Robbins; the following developers recently left the Gentoo project: Daniel Robbins' Yes, this is the same Daniel Robbins who founded Gentoo Linux back in the year 2000 and who left the project in 2004 for personal reasons. He officially re-joined the Gentoo development team two weeks ago - only to resign a few days later. The reason? Strong personal attacks by some of the current developers of the project."

Hahah .. what FUD, Gentoo doesn't need Daniel Robbins, yeah he built it yeah he deserves the kudos, but in no way is he "required" nor is he in anyway important to the projects future.

 

This is utter nonsense .. "the lowest point" .. not even close. The mailing list post that it referred to actually misses the argument all together. That was the fallout.

 

He joined only in Feb!!! he hasn't even been back for a month! There is no way he is needed for the project.
