[sldev] Rob, please unmute me on Jira

Rob Linden (Rob Lanphier),

 

Would you please unmute me on Jira.  If you could also point out where I
went wrong, that would be helpful to me and other SLDEVs to avoid making the
mistakes I made.  I appreciate participating in Jira, and am willing to
comply if you would be so kind as to clarify.

 

I attended a SLDEV meeting several months ago where you invited SLDEVs to
participate in Jira.  And earlier months before that time, I would receive
messages encouraging me to use Jira as someone who used the previous system.
I followed along and participated fine until I decided to vote for and
support with comments on SVC-1581 titled ModifyllGetPrimitiveParams behavior
to fail if copyright conditions are not met.  

 

I think the problem with SVC-1581 was that Ann Otolle was arguing in favor
of it, so many of the Jira regulars were in opposition.   Nevertheless I
continued to make arguments in favor of SVC-1581, and after a month Ann gave
up and closed it.  Jira SVC-1581 probably got on the radar a couple weekends
ago when I kept reopening it after Harleen Gretsky would keep reclosing it.
Torley Linden then added this first Linden comment:

Useful discussion is appreciated, back-and-forth arguing is not. 
We'll leave this as "Won't Finish", please don't reopen it -- continued
disruptive accounts which waste time & energy for others will have their
Issue Tracker posting privileges removed. 

 

I messaged Torley inworld to let him know that I am careful not to dissent
from Linden policy, so I removed my comments on that Jira.  Then I received
a message from Ann Otoole about being careful as the Lindens will tamper
with ones L$ account, and there being a drug problem at Linden Labs, and
somebody being in jail for a weekend on possession, and something about
p-jira, and investors, and her going to the press.  I forwarded that message
to Torley, stating Anns comments were out of my league.  Torley did not
reply, but I did notice he accepted the notecard when I was online.

 

I felt that issue of SVC-1581 (regarding methods for increased copyright
protection) is important, but was absolutely squelched by non-lindens
manipulating the Jira system.   I knew I was not the only person who had
been treated this way (from very carefully watching this past year).   So
for the last two weeks, I began to place the following comment on fitting
occasional Jiras: 

 

Rights Watch by PM Sands 
Improved Jira Review Advocacy
Your vote and opinion should not be suppressed.  Sometimes non-Lindens try
to manipulate our Jira process.   If you feel a Jira page was treated
unfairly by a non-Linden you are welcome to free help at: 

 <http://secondlifepmsands.com/rightswatch.aspx>
http://secondlifepmsands.com/rightswatch.aspx

 

I probably placed that on less than 10 jira pages over the last couple
weeks.  It helped citizens.  The last jira I placed it on two days ago was
<http://jira.secondlife.com/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=Gigs+Taggart> Gigs
Taggarts SVC-114.   Today I noticed, I can no longer leave comments on Jira
with my account PM Sands.

 

Well, I could continue Rights Watch via alt accounts, but I do not want to
go rouge.  I appreciate being an SLDEV and participating in Jira. If you
would please be so kind as to enable my Jira comment ability, I would be
grateful.  And if you have another moment to clarify if I should not
continue Rights Watch, I will comply.  

 

Thanks in advance for the advice,
