 j-k | * Will it make everyone happy if we clarify to them that there are X already prepared with plans to fill the remaining 10-X positions at some point? And just check they're still up for it
at this point no boards have actually been sent | 17:45:00 |
| j-k | it sounds like they'd be happy with a shorter list that grows anyway | 17:45:48 |
 Linux Hackerman | In reply to @matthewcroughan:defenestrate.it
I'm not representing any community. Would you write that to them? "I'm not representing the NixOS community"? | 17:46:05 |
 matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Sure. | 17:46:10 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I've not made the claim that I am, at any stage, but I can write that. | 17:46:38 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I'm a person, who uses NixOS, who is part of the NixOS community, that has some people that want to do RISC-V stuff. | 17:47:01 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | That is all my email has said thus far. | 17:47:06 |
 Alyssa Ross | I think your email might have implied it even if you didn't mean it to | 17:47:20 |
| Linux Hackerman | I'd appreciate that. And if you would try to generally communicate less misleadingly, but I doubt I can convince you on that front. | 17:47:22 |
| Alyssa Ross | if that can be clarified with them that's great | 17:47:41 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Will do. Not really intending to mislead anyone, but I will definitely do what I please when it comes to trying to get boards. I'm not representing NixOS at all. | 17:48:13 |
| Alyssa Ross | good luck with your boards :) | 17:49:05 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | These companies are not fairly distributing these boards, there's an opportunity to get them, and I made a good case for it. I succeeded. | 17:49:12 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I was debating buying them myself, in fact. | 17:49:44 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Linux Hackerman: Alyssa Ross Did you not see this days ago? | 17:52:09 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Why is it now that you have decided to have a problem with it? I am confused by this. | 17:52:19 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Is it only now that you have seen my activity? | 17:52:27 |
| Alyssa Ross | I didn't read the email closely at the time — I went back and read it to understand Linus's complaint, and decided I agreed with it. | 17:52:49 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Okay, fair enough. Well sorry for the misunderstanding. I've confirmed with them what you asked me, that I'm just a member of the community and not a representative. | 17:53:24 |
| Linux Hackerman | I raised my eyebrows at it a couple of days ago, but only today did I get any evidence that suggested that you really were exaggerating the state of affairs. | 17:53:27 |
| Alyssa Ross | (I'm in a few hundred channels so I tend to skim) | 17:53:45 |
| Linux Hackerman | Before that I stayed silent on good faith that you were being honest | 17:53:52 |
| Linux Hackerman | and yeah as Alyssa says I don't read every message here every day either. | 17:54:06 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I am being honest. And the accusation that I'm not does upset me a bit. | 17:54:07 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | But thank you for your opinion nontheless. | 17:54:17 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | There are at least 10 people in this community who will benefit from being given a RISC-V VisionFive board with 8GB of RAM for development. | 17:55:15 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I have opened up this possibility now. No boards have been sent out. | 17:55:38 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | No boards have been confirmed. | 17:55:43 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | You are definitely jumping the gun. | 17:55:54 |
| Alyssa Ross | surely it's better to catch this sort of thing early, than to wait until it's too late? | 17:56:57 |
