[Libre-soc-dev] RfPs 2021-02-052: The Libre-SOC Gigabit Router declined

[Michiel Leenaars]

Dear Luke,

>>> this includes payments for the same work submitted at the
>>> same time by jacob, who has been paid and i have not.

>> My understanding is that NLnet do not regard the work that you & Jacob
>do/did
>> as the same thing and your bit has not been completed.
>
>the MoU milestones do not work that way.>

actually, they do work precisely the way Alain describes.

Please see the relevant issue in the bug tracker [1], where Jacob was so kind to note down the answer we provided to him when he made a similar comment:

[1] https://bugs.libre-soc.org/show_bug.cgi?id=840#c15

Let me repeat the main gist of it here:

>> I would assume it's also sufficient for Luke to get paid for the exact same task

> That is an understandable but incorrect inference. Even within a single task, different people will have distinct roles and responsibilities. You made an engineering contribution. That part seems finished, and so it was paid. As the project lead, Luke is also responsible for integrating the outputs of this and all other dangling task into the documentation skeleton of this particular project. The project is claimed to be completed, so we are asking where the outputs we were promised by Luke can be found.

I hope this is clear? Adding the outputs to the page at https://libre-soc.org/crypto_router_asic is the right course of action. I hope it works out.

Please listen to the explanations of Alain and others, instead of asking them to stop spelling things out to you and even claiming they don't properly listen. We are all attempting to help. Your perception of what is said is warped at the moment, due to your mental health issues. Without help, the misunderstandings in your head will continue to have you fire semi-automatic rifles at your own feet and damaging the reputation of the project and of well-meaning people trying to help you.

Best,
Michiel
