- - a vote open to all ? worst of options IMO, as non-members could have an interest to vote for people who put the bar a lot lower for becoming member)
? I think for the first vote, vote should be open to all the *volunteer* (every people that asks to be able to vote). * right now the board *power* is very small. In fact the board can only suggest things to Novell or administrators. so the interest to be board member is low (and I'm sure the work is not low - we must thank the present board for doing that), in a near future, the board migh be given more power and be more attractive to ambitious people * its possible (and necessary) to make public the voters list, so anybody can see it and eventually quote people with duplicate subscribtions. * the guiding principles themselves where not approved by a vote, so we should not even ask to sign them.
You really think that Francis, Stephan, Andreas, Federico and I are favouring people who we know would vote for us when we check and vote internally on their level of contribution to the project ?
right now, I don't think. But this have been seen in many occasions (not only on web votes). However, the main problem is probably not this. The board have a given idea of what membership must be. this idea can be challenged, but if the members only vote, they are probably of the same group. life is made like this: you always choose people near from you, so this kind of vote lead to less open mind (as a group) I think we should see this vote as a way to *enhance* the community, both in quantity and in trust. I'm pretty sure most of the voters will have *more* interest in openSUSE after the vote than before. The more we can make vote, the more members we may have after that. jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://clairedodin.voices.com/ http://www.clairedodin.com/ http://claire.dodin.net/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
