That is actually a good point. I'll keep it in mind but I think you should bring this up once we're a bit further in the Foundation discussion.
do not rely too much on the foudation on the subject. As I see it (but it's a personal view), the foundation is more to be seen as the openSUSE community backup to receive cash and sponsorship, not to be mixed with the openSUSE community at large like it is now.
May be we will need some sort of non profit organisation, separate from the foudation (legally speaking), but this is still to be discussed
Why a separate organization? Shouldn't the foundation be able to take care of conflicts? After all, it'll be responsible for infrastructure too, I expect, that means they can decide to boot someone from it, legally... Of course I do think it would be not a bad idea to have a chosen community council or something like that which deals with conflicts etc in a confidential and quiet way like done in some other communities - the board doesn't have to do that by themselves. Ok, this is something for the foundation ML, I know... shutting up now :D
