I would like to be positive on this subject, not to have such a situation again.
present structure of the openSUSE community is:
* board * members * ambassadors * community active people
in the mid way, there are "teams" or "sub-groups" (for example the membership select group).
Don't you think we could enhance the system, giving the members some more importantce. After all there are less than 500 members, a manageable group.
We could, for example, open retro to all the members and make the number of +1 necessary to become a member grow to 10?
and on the hot subject, could we have a *private* opensuse-members list? private, that is with closed posting and archives only available for members.
If such a list have existed, we could have discussed the present case completely, without the risk for anybody to have the net unvail the names and the facts. The board could have explained all the situation.
I would feel rather more comfortable
+1. I still don't really know if the board should share all information with +500 people, but it whould've helped a lot if there was a more closed list - at least prevented this from resulting in articles by the press.
