| mchehab | I can't see why a contractor won't answer what would motivate him to keep doing free work when the contract ends
I mean: being anonymous or not, I don't think that the answer would change | [09:44] |

| pinchartl | mchehab: fear of retaliation is one thing that would change the answer
(and it is *real*, I have talked to several developers who fear retaliation) | [14:54] |
| mchehab | as far as I'm aware, none of the sub-maintainers (or me) ever retaliated someone for giving a positive feedback | [14:58] |
| also, if some developer is not able to give/receive positive feedback, he probably doesn't understand yet about how open source development works | [15:03] | |
| hverkuil | It's a chicken-and-egg problem: if we do something that scares off potential developers, and we'd like to fix that. But if they don't want to talk to us, then we also don't know what it is that should be fixed! | [15:05] |
| mchehab | yes | [15:05] |
| hverkuil | I am not aware of anyone ever 'retaliating' to negative comments (as long as those comments are constructive). | [15:06] |
| pinchartl | I'm not speaking about retaliation in linux-media, but in general
the fear of retaliation, however, covers the kernel as a whole anyway, I've requested one of the persons who talked to me to share the feedback, I'm waiting for a definitive answer | [15:20] |
| mchehab | good! thanks! | [15:27] |
