[FFmpeg-devel] FFmpeg governance and accusations

[Michael Niedermayer]

Hi all

After months of public harassment and accusations
it appears the attacks against me shift to private mail.

Iam not sure how to handle this to be honest,
It must from the outside look like these mails here and there are a minor
thing, but really this is grinding my nerves down, my ability to do usefull work is
like cut down to a quarter maybe. Everything takes so much more time
in this hostile environment.

But in an attempt to remove the grand prize and motive behind this.
I will never give any power related to FFmpeg to people who continue with
attacks/harrassment/accusations.
(more clearly, any future democratication will exclude them permanently for all times)

Also the text quoted from me from years ago saying i would
support passing power on, has expired now, the community back then also is not
the GA now.

We today really are much farther away from democratication than back then.
Theres a bigger divide between people, less tolerance. This has to change first

also about democratication, its not possible with the GA/CC as it is currrently.
ATM 3 of 5 seats in the CC are filled by executives or employees of FFlabs.
That would make FFmpeg a subsidiery of FFlabs and has nothing to do with democracy
(this could actually give less power to the community than it has now)

Not to mention that the CC is judge, jury and executioner while pretending
to be democratic.

thx

There will always be a question for which you do not know the correct answer.
