How many people voted? How well do they represent the current people on the list?
These are the pertinent questions. It's not so much the count as the representation. The casual subscribers, those who frequent friendlier lists and want it done the way most lists do it, would have been less likely to notice a pending vote announcement. OTOH, the militant regulars with their reply-to-list buttons would have been less likely to miss the opportunity to rubber stamp the general minority status quo.
What about the new militants that just came over from other lists (like Debian)? For the record: I would vote against munging, if I was forced to vote. But on the other hand I am against democracy in software and related projects.
When is the next election?
Probably when hell freezes over.
Don't bring religion in technical discussions. Please.
IMHO there is no place for democracy in Software Libre - only benevolent dictatorship.
Democracy is tyranny of the majority. People in USA holler about it a lot, yet USA is a republic, which is not the same thing.
Who's talking about the USA? I live in a parliamentary democracy (Belgium). Anyway you seem to agree with me that democracy is a bad thing for Free Software. -- Amedee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
