[Libre-soc-dev] Fwd: RfPs Libre-SOC Cavatools: Power ISA Simulator // 2021-08-071 declined

[Michiel Leenaars]

Dear Luke,

>you don't even tell me which RFP

we have declined all remaining RfPs from both NGI Assure projects. We
have kept these open for months now as a courtesy, in the hope that you
would understand and act in time. Of course there were also complex
circumstances at your end, and we did not want to cause additional
stress in what appeared to be a very stressful period in your life
already. In hindsight we should have been more firm with you, in
order to convey the right sense of urgency. To be honest we did not
expect the kinds of uncooperative (and often unpleasant) behaviour as
well as the accusations we have been exposed to in the meanwhile.

We hope it is clear now you should really move forward, if necessary
with the help of others. Your behaviour has alienated many, but I
believe that if you calm down and stop being abusive there are still
people willing to help. As we have mentioned before, we are keen to
resolve and settle these matters as efficiently as possible. We are very
sympathetic to your challenging personal circumstances. However, there
is only so much we can do - especially when you continue to willingly
disrespect and even attack others.

Let me summarize one final time:

at this point, what we need is proper documentation of the individual
outputs of tasks and for you to position these individual outputs in a
coherent overview of each of the two projects as a whole. In order to be
able to test, make sure that the repositories contain up to date
information on how to compile, which dependencies are needed, etc. If
you provide that in time, we can successfully wrap up the two projects
still.

Neither a mailing list nor an issue tracker are suitable for closing
up projects of this size or complexity. As the project lead of
Libre-SOC, and the architect of both the original and adjusted plans,
you are the only one able to provide the answers here.

We hope to hear from you soon.

Best,
Michiel
