Re: [ros-dev] Opening up #reactos-dev to the public

[Alex Ionescu]

I don't agree. Maintain the auto-voice lists and get someone in charge of
operations, like I used to be for many years on IRC.

Instead, why not create a #reactos-gsoc or something?

Best regards,

Too many chans will clutter it, in the end the devs will have to join 10
chans. The chans aren't that high-traffic ones.

I think we should yust try to do a -m and see what happens.

[David Quintana (gigaherz)]

I don't see any usefulness in a #reactos-gsoc. It would isolate the gsoc
people, rather than help them integrate into the team. Remember Google
isn't just giving projects some free labor, the goal is to introduce new
devs into the communities with the idea of them remaining in those
communities. So being in the main channels should be part of the goal of
gsoc.

There should simply be more devs in #reactos. Some are, but many are not.
Everyone of us is able to give voice to newbies and direct dev related
conversations to the dev channel. When we open this chan to the public we
could instead remove it and do everything via #reactos.

In that case I can stop paying attention to jira, since the perception
is that we do not care anyway.
This will free up a reasonable amount of time that I can spend on
parts of reactos that only i care about.

Right, show me the code. AKA we accept patches Alexander.
Regarding #reactos-dev, I'm afraid that if we open it to everyone we will see the
endless noise from jira to flood #reactos-dev.

[David Quintana (gigaherz)]

You HAVE to understand that everyone is contributing what they think they
can afford to contribute. No matter how much it may be "best" if they used
their time on something else, they ARE contributors, not slaves, so they
are free to work on what they want. The sooner you accept that, the better.

[Sylvain Deverre]

Hello,

To be clear, ReactOS doesn't have enough donations to pay devs living
in countries where life is expensive (and can't afford to work as full-
time dev for the project), along with maintaining infrastructure
(paying servers to run JIRA, the forums, the buildbots and slavebots
for the testsuite) to allow the project to continue.

Then, I don't understand the issue with Jira, as devs keep an eye on
JIRA (that's another story for the forum, which is not really supposed
to serve as bugtracker by the way). Also, keep in mind that a lot of
issues are very *complex* and sometimes need huge architectural changes
which are not documented. For instance, a lot of theming issues
couldn't be resolved until Giannis and I worked on an implementation of
SxS window class redirection for ReactOS, which takes months (which
happen in several places, notably win32 subsystem, comctl32 and even
ntdll).

So devs do what they can do according to life constraints, skills and
time they can allocate for the project. By the way, if you want the
project to succeed, why not learning C and becoming a paid developer ?
:)

I strongly disagree with everything you said in that email.

I'll reply inline

SOME devs don't pay attention to #reactos. I do, Amine does, Hermes does,
... stop generalizing.

I personally don't use the forums. I have my reasons to want to avoid them,
and I don't feel the need to defend myself about it. I guess it's the same
for anyone else who dislikes the ambient in forums.
JIRA is another matter, I don't avoid it, but I'm usually not looking at it.

Bullshit. This may happen if we start to let any idiot derail the channel
and we allow the channel to become offtopic. You are simply making a world
out of one small possibility.

No one is "leaving the job half way". We have more contributions than
ever.
ReactOS is a giant undertaking, so it's natural for it to be slow.

Using myself as an example: I currently don't have the motivation to
develop for reactos, after I'm get home from my job. This isn't going to
change any time soon. My options are simple: either I dedicate as much as I
can to helping the project, which right now means I stay around in the
#reactos channel (even while at work!), and help people who ask questions
and have doubts, or I quit from the project completely and contribute
nothing at all.

The sentiment is nice, but not many people have the luxury to dedicate MORE
than they are already doing. You are demanding that people risk their
lives, their families, and their future, for ReactOS. Have you even
considered that it may simply be asking too much?

No we do not. Progress is slow, but steady.

The ReactOS Foundation can only pay for scholarships, most developers are
not students anymore, so they are simply not candidates.

Oh so having a life is an excuse to you? You don't value having a future
for yourself?

Bullshit. We even have old members who have come back to help once again.
We have been selected for GSoC for a second year in a row, which is an
historical milestone. Reactos is stronger than ever, but you are only
focusing on your pessimism and you can't see the progress that is happening
under your nose.

I only see your blind pessimism.

See above. We can only legally pay for scholarships, and the foundation
can't pay as much as a proper engineer gets paid, not by far.

So no, I don't agree with anything you said.

[Giannis Adamopoulos]

This is getting really funny. Since you act as if you work you ass off and we the devs are
slacking, how much time do YOU spend each week with productive work?
