We asked you to do it when we happened to be outside of the XDC conference in cambridge in september 2007. We also asked you for a mailing list then, and you refused. Keith did this in the hours before we pushed code out, an event which, in itself, was already badly delayed by ATI not providing a valid open source license for us to include atombios code. Keith went and did the right thing to preserve the integrity of fd.o and added the repository. We ended up getting a mailing list created by our teamlead at SUSE, who got us a mailinglist at <a href="http://opensuse.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">opensuse.org</a> in the space of minutes, and that took us way less time than it took us to ask you and to listen to your excuses for not giving us a mailing list fd.o. You later went and bashed us for using a "corporate" mailing list. That was of course years before you went and tried to put the brakes on providing a mailing list for the lima driver. A quick look over other requests back then showed me that it usually took you many days, often weeks, to answer new project requests. But when _i_ asked, a not too supportive reply was quickly received. Amazingly, even jcristau felt the need to point out the duplicity of the answer to this request. All of this does not even begin to take into account the clear temporal correlation of the hacking of the radeonhd repository with you losing your consulting contract at nokia. Integrity is such a nice word. Somehow it feels like words like integrity and custodian belong together.

I've snipped most of the misleading accounts of history, incorrect or invented events, and pure outright defamatory lies that you've spent the last ten years posting all over the internet. There's no point in responding to them since you just go silent, then pop up six months or a year later to tell a new set of people the same old set of garbage, in the hope of destroying peoples' reputations and/or careers. I thought that after some pretty civil interactions recently, and quickly and reasonably responding to your request for help with an explanation of why the mistake happened in the first place, that there was no danger here. But nope, after spending ten years tip-toeing around you, ignoring all the bait in the form of lies and defaming my character and motivations, but also trying to be 'fair' to the community by spending my time actioning your requests like the above, that's my reward. So here's my new and clear policy on Luc Verhaegen: I'm never in my life dealing with you again. If you ask for help or in fact any of my time, in any forum at all (e.g. here, sitewranglers@, IRC, whatever), I'm ignoring it. Even if I am literally the only person who can do the thing you ask for, whatever that is, I will flatly refuse to do it. If you file an issue which requires my action specifically, it will get immediately closed. > Integrity is such a nice word. Somehow it feels like words like > integrity and custodian belong together. Given all your vindictive and abusive bullying over many years, I wouldn't if I were you choose 'personal and professional integrity' to judge others on. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Luc Verhaegen <<a href="mailto:libv@skynet.be" target="_blank">libv@skynet.be</a>> To: Daniel Stone <<a href="mailto:daniel@fooishbar.org" target="_blank">daniel@fooishbar.org</a>> Cc: xorg-devel <<a href="mailto:xorg-devel@lists.x.org" target="_blank">xorg-devel@lists.x.org</a>> Bcc: Date: Fri, 8 Mar 2019 04:27:15 +0100 Subject: Re: Radeonhd repo not migrated to gitlab.

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. > the last ten years posting all over the internet.

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. > quickly and reasonably responding to your request for help with an > explanation of why the mistake happened in the first place, that there > was no danger here.

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 <a href="http://freedesktop.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">freedesktop.org</a> which can only be dealt with by yourself. As if declaring that you will refuse to handle valid requests for <a href="http://freedesktop.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">freedesktop.org</a> resources, purely on the basis of interpersonal issues, is not bad enough already. > > Integrity is such a nice word. Somehow it feels like words like > > integrity and custodian belong together. > > Given all your vindictive and abusive bullying over many years, I > wouldn't if I were you choose 'personal and professional integrity' to > judge others on. Say what you will, but... I have never refused anyone mailing lists or other project resources. I have never silently removed anyone from <a href="http://planet.freedesktop.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">planet.freedesktop.org</a>. (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. _______________________________________________ xorg-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:xorg-devel@lists.x.org" target="_blank">xorg-devel@lists.x.org</a> <a href="https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel</a></blockquote></div>
