I'm sure there are plenty of problems with immigrants but blaming them for everything leads to an exaggerated xenophobia and the real problems are pushed to one side.

Maybe one day Muslims will have their Martin Luther King, although I doubt the situation is so dire

I don't think you understand the worldwide situation but this forum is not the place to discuss it. I will say that I doubt that MLK could have saved Grozny, Baghdad or Aleppo for instance.

That's pretty cool of Canada really. That historical fact is just as true for the US, but down here the whole thing gets taken seriously.

I don' think that's particularly true unless you've never been outside Toronto.

well, read something to your world situation. take it from an old kufr that dos not want to live under islamic law:

http://www.jihadwatch.org/
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/
http://www.barenakedislam.com/
http://schnellmann.org/Understanding_Muhammad_Contents.html

you might also want to take a closer look at "taqiyya" - that is why nobody can trust a muslim.

It's your anger and hate you need to take a hard look at, it's taking you to a dark place. Whatever it is that's really eating you, I doubt it's the muslims that caused it. BTW if you want to learn about Islam, learn it from a muslim and not hate propagation sites.

I know all about that. It's a little hard to assimilate people though. I'm from a french city of 700,000 (Quebec) surrounded by 300 million english men over 300 years, and we're not english (yet)

angry - yes after getting stabbed on my way home from work with an allahu akbar.
hate - no.
i despise the muslim religion for its pedophile men (and prophet) marrying 9 yr. old girls, beheading people because they are no muslims, raping themselves through the middle east and thinking of christians, jews and women as creatures lesser than dogs.
i don't want to learn anything from muslims - believe it or not, i watch the news and would have to degenerate a couple of hundred years to think like a muslim.
maybe you should take a look at these links and learn a little bit about your religion, since the links content illustrate the sad truth.
well this was my last post, sorry if i offended someone.

Glad to hear that. However, the need for two other release managers is still there.

The role of Release Manager and "This Week In D" are the two ones somewhat special in the community: they're closest to an actual "job", in the sense that regularity and professionalism are crucial. You need to "show up" and do it. If "This Week in D" is not there on Sunday evening, it's not a weekly. If we have no release manager and no contingency plan, we can't release. In the future we'll have folks depending on this and planning ahead for it.

You wouldn't just not go to work for two weeks and then show up at your desk as if nothing happened. This kind of stuff needs some level of planning, barring exceptional events. For example, Adam could tell his readership "I'll be on vacation next week, so no issue on August 9". Which is totally fine.

I'm very happy Martin is doing well but I am disappointed about this unprofessional behavior. In fact I could only assume the worst because he seemed one of the most serious people I've dealt with, so this came as quite a major breakage of trust.

With this we revoke Martin's role as release czar. His github access will remain the same for the time being.

Until a replacement is found I will fumble with the release process myself, and I could use all the help I can get. In fact it would be a nice gesture of Martin to help with the transition. I'll be also counting on help from the more process-oriented members of the community. One note - 2.068 will be delayed because I have a house move to deal with for the time being, not to mention being busy with std.allocator and std.collection.


Thanks,

Andrei

Well, I've been on vacation and prolonged that spontaneously for another week or so.

I tried to convince people for 2 years to plan development (remember http://wiki.dlang.org/Agenda) and never got anyone to cooperate. It's very difficult to plan a release when people develop random stuff on master, hopefully this will improve with the more regular releases.
