[FFmpeg-devel] GSoC 2025

[Marth64]

Hi Nicolas,

I’ll be clear: my decision to funnel the conversation into a more
isolated (but project-official) channel was based on experience and
best practices, not guesswork. I have over a decade of real-world
experience and training managing teams, resolving conflict, and
guiding projects to success. If you’d like to understand the
reasoning, I suggest looking into the 5 C’s of Conflict Management,
which emphasizes the importance of clear communication and
collaboration in conflict resolution. I did not see that potential in
a wide-open thread like this.

In cases of conflict, especially during sensitive moments, it’s a
well-established leadership practice to reduce surface area and shift
discussions to a focused group where they can be resolved more
productively.

If you have constructive feedback, I’m happy to hear it, but I won’t
engage in unproductive criticism of the CC’s role.

Respectfully,
Marth64
