- Unfortunately, only removing the membership status wouldn't have changed anything in this case, as the disruptive and poisonous behaviour was not seen exclusively in situations where membership plays a role. The Board members were (and still are) convinced that we had to remove the person from the project altogether to resolve this issue.
If the offender feels mistreated does he/she have a chance to voice his/her opinion about the matter to the community? Community preferbly as in opensuse- project mailinglist.
Improbable as the person was completely remove, ie: from mailing lists, irc...
That way we can safely trust the judgement of the board until the person can bring up opposite proof.
To me this even sounds pretty good as a rule of thumb in case this happens again: A note to -project that the board was forced to remove a member from the project due to violations of the guidelines and he himself is free to speak up if he feels wronged. Otherwise any communication between the affected parties is to be done in private.
The original post on this subject stated that numerous efforts were made to achieve compliance with the GPs w/o success. Doesn't this meet with your suggestion?
No, I think the removed person should have a right to defend itself in public after the affected parties are informed of the verdict, he doesn't have to though.
That way privacy is respected and no member can be silenced by the board without note.
The notation appears to be an afterthought.
I fear I don't understand, I tried combining the wish of privacy with the transparency of an open government. Regards, Karsten -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
