[opensuse-project] about the foundation
by jdd 06 Dec '11

06 Dec '11

Hello, Reading the Pascal platform, I was concerned by his declaration about foundation. Not to say he's not right :-) I simply think that some ideas have to be discussed and may be the moment is there because it have impact on the vote for the board. * initially, the foundation was seen as a fund raiser. May be this is the error. * the other openSOURCE project (Fedora, for example) have a structure, why should it be impossible for us (I mean why should it be so difficult to find people to manage it) * one of the problem I see now in our work is that volunteers can see they work as a work for free in the benefit of the sponsor. Don't read me bad. I like the way our sponsor help us, but the truth is we have absolutely no control on the ressource and this is not good. People who work should have some control. Of course we have to work in sinergy: make the sponsor happy is a good thing, but we should have an independent voice also. * That's why I would like to see a "friends of openSUSE" non profit group as, for example, there are several for my ISP. These/this group could share free comments and make the basis for a may be future foundation. Of course this group would in no way receive massive amount of money nor hold the openSUSE name ownership, but could share and collect non official information (in both direction, to and from SUSE). I still want to say I'm really glad to see this much good candidates. Choosing will be hard :-) jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Questions for the leaving board members
by Per Jessen 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Perhaps a little early, but this way people will have time to think about it. For the leaving board-members: how about a report-upon-departure? Nothing too elaborate, but the people who voted for you might be interested to hear if you have achieved something (or not). Some possible questions: did being a board member meet/clash with your expectations, was it a lot of work, were there any memorable moments, would you do it again? Apart from election time, the board is a mostly invisible entity, so perhaps this could be an opportunity for everyone, including the new candidates, to learn. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] My questions for the board candidates
by Henne Vogelsang 05 Dec '11

05 Dec '11

Hey, I too have a couple of questions that I would like to see answered before I vote. 1. What do you think the board is really doing? We all know the boards duties and goals as stated in the guiding principles but what do the board members do to fulfill and reach those? Please name as many tasks as you can and what they involve specifically. Example: * The Board cleans the loo. Every week another board member (rotated alphabetically) organizes cleaner, a cloth and a mop from someone in the community. He/she then cleans the porcelain and wipes the floor. 2. What do you think is the most important thing that you personally as a Board member have to do? I'm not so much interested in goals you want to reach in the future but more in what you think is the most important part in your "job description". 3. Please describe your view of openSUSE as a project. Which people/groups/functions are there and how do they work together? I'm looking for a structured list, a short text or an org-chart :) 4. How would you describe openSUSE's relationship to its sponsors? What do we get from our sponsors and how? What do the sponsors get from us and how? Thanks in advance for answering those and helping me to decide between so many fine candidates :) Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE http://www.hennevogel.de Everybody has a plan, until they get hit. - Mike Tyson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner(a)opensuse.org
