Hello,

Now and then I've received personal emails stating opinions that people fear to share publicly on the mailing list.

Since recently I was punished by the Project Leadership Committee by what in my opinion is nothing more than expressing my opinion [1], I've decided to start this public query about the health of the Git community.

Essentially I'm looking for all opinions, which I promise to keep anonymous. If you are afraid of expressing an opinion because it might hurt your job, or your standing on the community, here is the place to do it.

Reply directly to me. If you don't trust me to keep your opinion anonymous you can use an anonymous email service [2].

Because the community leaders believe this kind of discussion is "harmful", please reply only to me, and not the mailing list, even if you are not afraid of sharing your opinion publicly.

Although you can share any opinion you have, here are two questions you can use as a baseline:

  1. How is in your opinion the health of the Git community?
  2. If it was up to you, is there anything you would change?
Cheers.
