Well, the only thing you we succeed in doing when being cold with others is showing them the true face of our personality. I would rather have other remember me in the positive way. There are plenty of dead projects out there that have lost interest from the public simply because the support team and maintainers were not "nice" to the community anymore. As far as I am concern, I would rather stay away than wondering if I am going to be perceived as a noise. <br>
<br>I am a programmer too and I maintain open source projects as well. But being a programmer does not mean not having social or PR skills.<br>
<br>Good luck with php_gd. We have chosen to use Centos instead of Debian for our needs. So the bundled vs "not bundled" situation is no longer a concern.<br><br>Cheers<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Dec 2, 2010 at 10:34 AM, Raphael Geissert <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:geissert@debian.org" target="_blank">geissert@debian.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Your email didn't add quite much to the report ;), but thanks for<br>
sending it anyway.<br>
<br>
The "problem" we (as maintainers) perceive with those emails is that<br>
they don't add much to the discussion and they tend to be seen as<br>
noise.<br>
<br>
Ondřej, do you think it's worth setting the bug's summary to your<br>
email? (I honestly haven't followed up on gd for a while now, so I<br>
didn't know about the changes you mentioned.)<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
