And where do we disagree? :-)   I do agree about the volunteers as well.
Not really sure why I only pointed the finger to the paid GNOMEies :-/

Sure was.

I'm not convinced about the reasons why it changed. I think that we need
someone that drives the stuff that we want and need to do.
There are many things that fall between the chair way to often (meeting
minutes that are not wikified, discussions that never come to a
conclusion etc)
In short, I feel that we don't have a strong leadership.

I would like to think/hope that none of us take this personal.
