Is it possible that by "past actions" you refer to some your own people

1) undemocratically and privately asking for a tone of money from the
Parabola fund for hardware they want to use and keep for themselves even
after they leave the project,

2) dismissing the delegate's concerns about these big expenses unknown
to the community, by labeling them as "unnecessary drama",

3) sabotaging the relationship with the fiscal sponsor, by unjustly and
publicly accusing the fiscal sponsor of misusing the Parabola funds,

4) building a faction inside the project, recruiting fellow devs that
don't know both sides of the story,

5) vandalizing the wiki and repos, deleting free cultural works and free
software from the project, before they leave.

I guarantee you that if G4JC doesn't follow his comrade Emulatorman and
leaves the project, the same issues will happen with the next fiscal
sponsorship. And an agreement extension with Ceata is out of the table
if G4JC stays.

Until your own people won't start respecting agreements with 3rd parties
that have been approved by the community with consensus, Parabola will
continue to have problems raising and spending funds.

You're talking about maturity? Maturity means following protocol and
respecting agreements. I don't have the time to teach you that, although
I patiently tried. Nobody has time to teach you that!

Please, show some maturity and start drafting the proposal to be sent to
FSIJ. Or to other sponsor candidate, for that matter.

Start doing actual work if you want things to run better in your project
and in the relantionship with 3rd parties. That's the mature thing to do.

P.S. I prefer being straight with people I care about. Diplomacy is just
another word for manipulation.
