Defamation is a strong word, it means void of truth, void of data and 
facts.

Some googling will provide me with cover for those data points. I 
also think i can dig out the email keithp sent us when he did create the 
radeonhd repo, which will then also include the email that egbert sent 
asking for project to at least you and keith. If needs be i will dig out 
all the bugzilla entries with fd.o admin requests that you personally 
responded to 6 months before and after (which will be laborious enough 
already) i requested fd.o project resources for lima, and expose the 
timeframes there (i will then also add Tollef's response times when i am 
at it). And there's a whole bunch of former nokia guys on this ml, who 
know just when you were thrown off the team and why, and how this was in 
the september/october 2010 timeframe, shortly before you and ajax got 
drunk and did what you did.

Do you mean you coming to me in the fosdem devroom to convey that Eric 
Faye-Lund would not be able to make it to talk at the devroom that day?

Since you are a colleague of Eric, i had no reason to doubt your 
statements. It would be foolish of me to assume that you were not 
being truthful. Doing so would only hurt the graphics devroom and 
FOSDEM, and it was paramount to inform fosdem visitors, and to then find 
an alternative solution (which we did) to make maximum use of the 
minimal time that the insane effort that is FOSDEM has.

I never have and never will refuse a talk for the graphics devroom based 
on how i like or dislike the person giving that talk. If i could bring 
myself to doing that, i would invalidate any reason for my involvement 
in the devroom and FOSDEM. FOSDEM and the graphics devroom come first.

I will gladly ask nasty questions and will happily give you an earful, 
especially at the delirium bar, as you well know. But i will not 
brazenly affect the devroom schedule in such a way, let alone refuse 
talks that are clear devroom material.

You just communicated that you will now "officially" start doing exactly 
what i claim that you have been doing for many years (amongst other 
things). This as a response to me reiterating that very claim? How does 
that work?

On its own, this very statement precludes you from doing any custodial 
work on any project. It also clearly displays that you feel that there 
are tasks at freedesktop.org which can only be dealt with by yourself. 
As if declaring that you will refuse to handle valid requests for 
freedesktop.org resources, purely on the basis of interpersonal issues, 
is not bad enough already.

Say what you will, but...

I have never refused anyone mailing lists or other project resources.

I have never silently removed anyone from planet.freedesktop.org. (1)

I have never silently removed drivers from build scripts.

I have never "lent" my root key to facilitate drunken hacking of 
repositories.

I have never used root of a project hosting facility to vandalize 
projects. (2)

And there's a ton of other, more minor, things i could add to that list.

Luc Verhaegen.

(1) was halfarsedly claimed by Dave Airlie a few years down the line.
(2) was claimed by Adam Jackson, but Daniel his rootkey was used, and 
Daniel claimed this to be his only involvement.
