it looks like
Rhizomatica/TIC no longer operate GSM networks with Ericsson RBS gear,
hence no more need for improved E1 MGW from their side.
However, I am getting a sense that the larger Osmocom community may be
disappointed
Hi Mychaela,
I would like to reflect that the above paragraphs are very uncomfortable for me
to read.
You do have improved your communication dramatically from the first time we
discussed mailing list netiquette, thank you for that. However, I feel that
this is a subtle gem, and I do see the need to give some feedback.
The points in particular:
Be aware that this is a public forum:
- I would prefer if you let the other developers step into a public thread *if*
they choose to, and not publicly call out names when you don't have to.
- Please do not infer, hypothesize, let alone leak details about how someone else
runs their site. It is their choice to disclose those details publicly -- or
not! It is inappropriate to poke for details there.
Reading that you "sense" that all of us are disappointed by your work reads
like a provocative overstep. We are not close enough that I could in any way be
disappointed.
Let's keep a neutral tone on a technical mailing list:
Please keep your assumptions on low profile,
and please invite instead of poking and prodding.
Thank you!
