I wonder why and with what purpose you are trying to put a negative accent on the fact that there are three Novell employees in the board (2 elected by the community).
I don't at all. Novell is perfectly right to want a majority in the board, they pay enough for that... I only say than nobody can be trusted if he have an interest conflict (sorry, I don't know exactly the english word: "conflit d'intérêt" in freench).
You mean "conflict of interests". Well, if Novell wanted to do that, they 1) could do so without consulting the board, any time 2) wouldn't need a board in the first place
I mean: if Novell wants to do some sort of openSUSE config and the community at large dont like it (say, include zmd...), how are the Novell folks be able to vote?
The board is _not_ in charge of technical aspects. On purpose, and by design (it's stated in the board's mission).
and, of course, Why would Novell ask for some official board member if he was not sure they will follow he's instructions? I only want to know when a particular people speak if he speaks for the electors or for Novell.
For the community. And it's up to you and every one else to vote for people you trust, think are dedicated people and agree with on their opinions.
And note that Novell is the only company to have board member "tagged"
How do you mean ? The chair ?
No, Fedora does the same.
