Thank you Randy! We should definitely declare three weeks around a RIPE meeting to be ‘RIPE Nice Weeks’. Could we build consensus on that? In a nice way? Daniel On 17 Mar 2021, at 17:09, Randy Bush wrote:
ok folk. get the snark and demanding privileged behavior out of your (and my) system now because, in honor of the start of spring (in the northern hemisphere) next week will be nice week.
we will remember to say thank you to folk who support us, such as other list members, ncc staff, tool builders, and other infrastructure folk.
we will be helpful to others on list; and even show them how to use the wonderful tools provided by the community and the ncc.
we will be welcoming to n00bs as they walk into walls as we did when we were n00bs.
we will look for opportunities to give credit to others.
we will view that new spam as a serendipitous opportunity to better train our bayesian filters.
we will encourage and be supportive of ripe/ncc staff if they try to participate as if they were fellow humans who are part of the community; because they actually are. maybe hph will even let them come out and play with us other children.
and we will keep our sense of humor at all times.
so get that bile out now, because we're gonna be nice next week.
