Gnokii was not just a member who was removed, he is a nominated

http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_election#Nominations:

as far as I know, he was only nominated by Nelson (and I didn't see
this on any official mailing list) and during the discussion Nelson
never reported this (although the discussion was so long I may have
missed the fact), and we have no evidence gnokii was a candidate.
However, Nelson was (is).

Here are references:

I don't want to start again the discussion on the other aspects of
this problem.

Sorry, if I just repeated things.

Well, from where I sit all conditions for nomination to be a candidate
in the current election for the Board have been met.

*sigh*

Why don't you read? Seriously, it's completely silly that I have to write the
below again as anyone with eyes and a brain will know it has been said about
10 times by now...

0. you have to be a member to run for the board
1. he isn't a member so can't run for the board anymore
2. the process to remove him from the board was started about 2 months ago
3. the only reason there was one day overlap between the kick-out and the
candidacy is because the holidays (and the board wanting to do this properly
and not hastily)
4. we communicated this to the election commitee. Surely they were critical,
rightly so, it's an unfortunate situation. But in the end, a non-member can't
run for the board, so that's it.

Again, read before you post please. Everyone on this list is done with this
discussion (and probably sick of it) especially because it is going around and
around due to, among others, you. Just let it go or bring it up by the board
if you want to hear all these things again and again in other wordings. I'm
sure they have written a script by now that re-arranges the paragraphs of
their initial statement in a different order to automatically answer such
mails.

Jees, you read english, don't you, or do you only WRITE it?

The person, S Kemter (aka Gnokii), was nominated and as per the
requirements:

Nominations:

The election committee will take self-nominations, nominations by others
and can nominate people for election. The election committee will
contact the nominated people and ask them whether they are willing to
stand for election. These nominations are private until accepted by the
nominated people.


was approached by Thomas Schmidt by e-mail to which S Kempter responded
that he had accepted the nomination and gave the URL of his blog where
he states that he will be atanding for the Board.

All very much above board and done according to Hoyle.

(But what happened after this is has a certain aroma of a dead cat about
it from the comments posted about this situation.....)

Basil,

Please get all the facts, stop trying to troll everyone. There was a
lot more going on. Please let it go. I support what the board did. A
lot of people do too.

Jos. +1 -- I am dyslexic, but I take the time to read all.

Basil, why not stop talking and stirring the pot and contribute to
the project. Take all that energy and focus it in a positive matter.
You must love openSUSE that you are on the list. So why not put up or
Shut. Sending e-mails to the "Off-Topic" list is not contribute.
Become an ambassador, help with one of the many projects we have going
one. Please for the love of God, just let this go. It over, many
people have move on. Sitting there and fire e-mails a thousand e-mail
with out read all the details isn't painting a very good picture of
you.

Again, step up and contribute to the project, or please just shut up.
Enough is enough!\

Pup
