My phone started going off like crazy with emails every 20 seconds :) What's so perfect, is the PR is complete horse shite. Trying to get something on the resume.
“Contributed to Unreal Engine source code. It welcomed well, hundreds of people commented”
You attract the wrong users
Core users end up moving away from you, that's what i did when they added the stories shit

if it's open source but in a private repo, couldn't somebody just make a public mirror? open source implies the right to redistribute source code.
Open source has no formal definition. There are tons of different licenses. They can be OSI-approved or not. Edit: I doubt the license for this code is an OSI-approved one with this registration business. But I have not checked and I won't check.

The real problem was that so many people felt the urge to reply to that PR making it so much worse than a single ping. I can live with the random message that has nothing to do with me, but having to delete an endless stream of messages because so many people felt the need to reply already knowing that it would go out to everyone is really annoying
The worst is that it becomes clear eventually that people are responding just to troll. The casual vandalism of hundreds of thousands of people’s time and attention is absolutely mind-boggling to me. I saw similar things at large (50k+ employees) companies when some reply-all chain got started — people who clearly knew better, replying just for the lulz. If it were up to me, I would have fired them immediately. Nobod…
That sounds a bit harsh. As a user of FOSS mailing lists I don't even think it is strange to send a mail to everyone.
It is a process issue where mailing lists are used for one way coms but still are writable for all.
Man it's still ongoing, and now the trolls have discovered it. The original thread somehow managed to crash my iphone due to the sheer number of replies. Amazing GH even made this possible. Not sure if there's also a data leak, I notice my email was CCed, not BCCed. Now they've managed to email nearly half a million people, this could go on for ages as idiots keep responding to the original chains. Wonder if EpicGame…
Seems like an innocent enough mistake. Remind me of when I once helped organize a volunteer hackathon with people from different companies. We created a Slack organization just for the occasion. At the end of the event, I was supposed to ask all attendees to delete all the data we had given them before they went home. The message I posted to #general (the channel everyone in a Slack organization is required to be in)…

I'm confused. Can someone explain why the Epic Games developers team has close to 400k members?
They require you to acknowledge some terms that grant you access to the Unreal Engine source code. They grant it by adding you to their GitHub org which has the engine source code as a private repo.
