FWIW, while I do recall people criticising your answers in the FFmeg meeting, 
I don't recall any statement to the effect that _you_ were inactive for years.

> it makes me not want to visit vdd again.

So just one attendee maybe said something wrong at a conference, and now 
you're blaming it on the organisers?

The VDD CoC does not forbid lying or (more likely) making incorrect 
statements. I'm not sure what you are expecting the board to do about it, but 
if you feel that you have a cause for complaint, you should mail asso at v.o, not 
just the board.

There were much worse occurences before the CoC existed. From my standpoint, 
is is working very well at the conference - not so well in electronic comms.

Oh really? I was banned several times, up to a whole months, and I am not the 
only one.

You clearly don't know the history and innards of VideoLAN very well, yet you 
feel entitled to disparage the organisation here. And at the same time, you 
find it shocking that people don't know who former developers of FFmpeg are?

It sounds pretty preposterous to me. Is it supposed to be a joke?
