You are an unelected appointee by SUSE to the OpenSUSE Community Board and as such represent in the first instance SUSE's interests.
There are other Board members who are elected, and have been elected, and yet you seem to have usurped the task of them speaking for themselves. Do you speak on all of their behalves? I (?we) do not know. If it is the case -- that you have been chosen to speak on all their behalves -- then it would be very nice to know that this is the case and you should have begun by stating -- or at this stage, which is not too late, to advise here -- that you speak on behalf of all the members of the Board.
I'm sorry, usually I stay out of the nonsense conversations, but I feel compelled to interject. 1. Every member of the openSUSE board is perfectly capable of putting their fingers to the keyboard, especially if they feel they've been improperly represented. We regularly hear from Andy Wafaa, Robert Schweikert, and Richard here. To that end, if Richard speaks "for the board" and no one else on the board objects, then _Richard speaks for the board_. 2. If you _really_ see a need to change things, you should put your efforts into a run for the board; seek a positive outlet instead of negative emails on an otherwise technical list. /me goes back to work... -- James Mason Technical Architect, Public Cloud openSUSE Member SUSE jmason@suse.com
