[Opensim-dev] Stepping down from OpenSim core

[Stefan Andersson]

Folks,

 

just letting you know I'm stepping down from OpenSim core.

 

Since Tribal Media keeled over, my life situation simply does not allow me
neither to participate in the dev community regularly nor contribute code. I
have committed exactly three characters since we moved to git.

 

What I have come to respect the most in OpenSim is the disrespectful
attitude against 'talk'.

 

OpenSim has always been about participating thru effort; testing, promoting,
writing, coding, building. So while discussion has always been welcome, any
kind of demands have always been met with "do it yourself, or pay someone to
do it". A harsh sentiment, but ultimately the only viable attitude in a
project like this.

 

Sean Dague disliked the term 'founding four', feeling that just because you
were among the first didn't automatically give you authority. Back then, I
didn't agree; for some time now, I have.

 

So rather than lingering, I'm leaving.

 

I wish to thank all core devs, past and present; thank you all gridnauts,
testers, hosts, customers and partners - It's been an immensely satisfying
ride. Hope to see you all on the 3D Web.

 

Best regards,

Stefan Andersson aka lbsa71
