Hi Pono. Thanks for trying to throw some oil on troubled waters, but this is an ongoing pattern of unreasonable behaviour by a PLC member. I understand the rules, but asking that the timeline be shortened on this occasion I believe was a reasonable ask. Which no one in the vote so far deems unreasonable except apparently Ted. He's not cooperating by giving a yes/no A/B vote. He's refusing to cooperate - This is not in good faith.
The purpose of this vote was/is to approve printing the next round of stickers under the same terms as we have always approved the purchase of stickers: because people want them to hand out. Trying to dictate policy based on personal feelings is not in the spirit of this project, nor is demanding that new conversations on policy be brought up in the middle of a vote that needs urgent approval/denial - votes from everyone.
People who don't participate in discussions around such things should not sit on the PLC and try to dictate how those things are approved.
The project ethos has always been - You volunteer to do the thing and you do it well, you own it and it becomes your responsibility in the project.
Ted wants a project where he does not contribute, neither code, nor stickers, does not come to dev meetings, does not even bother to read the PLC conversation, yet still insists on trying to dictate policy for paying developers and even (apparently) who gets stickers and who doesn't.
I'm sorry, no. That's not how the project works. It's not how it's ever worked, and it's certainly not in the interests of the project going forward.
