As you probably all know by now, the openSUSE Board recently revoked an individual's membership as well as his access to the openSUSE infrastructure.

Thanks for your well summarized and solicitous commentary.
I also deeply regret this unhappy ending and that I (we) couldn't come up with the idea to change things for the better. I have to accept and support this decision, but to be honest, I felt very sad when I saw a person who has contributed a lot was being banned on IRC channels.
To prevent further tragedies like this, I think we need to review and discuss the rules on our community and membership after the election, not just for dealing with similar situations in the future, but for not making it happen again and keeping our community peaceful and constructive.
Well, perhaps enlighten the rest of the world what the problem was before starting any "what should be prevented in the future" discussion.
As in what did $someone do and why was it a $problem to $anyone? (I don't care about $someone but some definition of $problem surely wont harm)
Or provide some examples or at least some context since that currently just hangs somehow in the air.
Explaining the problem further may lead to the above mentioned privacy getting lost. I would say it is better to have trust in the board and leave the matter at it. If someone is still personally interested in knowing the problem and verifying it, I believe a better way will be to ask the concerned person directly or the senders of the mail, in private during a beer, instead of a Google searcheable public mailing list.
