Judging by https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_meeting, the board
stopped meeting in March last year, and no minutes were posted from
that last irc meeting. Apparently a face-to-face meeting took place
on March 28 & 29, but I see no minutes nor a report from that either.
In May 2015, Bruno Friedmann then quietly announced:
"To be precise, the meeting on irc, is no more automatic. It's on demand
when the need and the actors are there."

Really, no board meetings since March last year?

Hello All,
It's that time of year again! FOSDEM is at the end of the month (30 &
31 Jan) and as usual, openSUSE will be there, big, bold and as green
as ever
FOSDEM is one of our biggest events of the year, and is an
exceptionally good opportunity to see what is going on in the big wide
open source world and start conversations collaborating across our
various projects.
Kostas has arranged for a booth at the conference, and I believe he is
still looking for volunteers to help man it. I would expect a formal
Call for Volunteers in the next few days, but anyone who is keen to
help can probably email him directly already - warlordfff(a)opensuse.org
. Given all the changes regarding Tumbleweed and the launch of Leap
lately, I'm expecting even more interest in the openSUSE booth than
usual this year, so the more volunteers the better.
The openSUSE Booth is the focal point of our presence at FOSDEM,
always with lost of people coming up and asking questions. In between
attending tracks I'd encourage all openSUSE contributors to stop by,
say hello, and help out at the booth, even if it's just answering
questions of passers by.
We are one of the more active projects out there these days, FOSDEM is
one of those chances to really show it.
For those of us lucky enough to live near Nuremberg, SUSE are
sponsoring a coach which will be taking as many as we can from SUSE's
HQ in Nuremberg to Brussels
Most of us are staying at the NH City Centre or NH Stephanie hotels,
so picking a hotel near there will be most convenient - I cannot
promise the bus will be able to drop everyone off at their own hotel.
It will be leaving *promptly* at 10am on 29th, and returning late on
31st (it's a long drive, but a lot of fun)
There are currently 14 seats available, please email Michael Haefner
(mhaefner(a)suse.de) if you're interested in coming along
Thanks,
Richard Brown
openSUSE Board Chairman

Amazing!
oSC is the only opportunity every year [for me] to meet maximum fellow
Geeko's face to face.
I am attending oSC's since 2012 consecutively & still have preserved
conference badges [& some goodies] from those oSC's as a memory.
[Thanks to openSUSE travel support program/team of course.]
Thanks for your comment Richard. ^_^
Regards,
Amey.

Hi Everyone ( I have a very weak Internet connection until Sunday, so
please bear with me, with this email only for a while).
My general consensus would be to improve communication between
everyone (the board, the developers, the non-developers and SUSE).
Thanks to the previous efforts from the community and the Board (I do
not agree with all that the board does however, they have worked hard
over the past two years and have bought noticeable changes to the
community), we have are at talking to each other better and more.
However, as much as it is necessary, I believe we should have some
kind of rules to guide how these communication will work. For example,
if a new project has to be incorporated how does that happen,
specially for our non-technical contributors, how do we involve them
early testing so that they can give feedback?)
What I am good at is really keep deadlines in the context of the
project, and that has been demonstrated with my contributions to GSoC
and openSUSE.Asia Summit. If something cannot be done, I won't drag it
longer than required.

Hello lizards,
As you probably know, I am candidate.
I used older templates for platform and created my own here:
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_election_2016_platform_diamond_gr
You can find my contributions there.
I'll try to answer as many questions as possible during that period.
January until mid February are hard months for me regarding my
personal-professional life. So I'll try to answer as soon as I can.
More blogposts to come.
Bring the fun back.

Great leaders don't tell you what to do...They show you how it's done.

A second reply: some googling and going through the archives shows you have a
long history of questioning and ridiculing board decisions, mostly wrapped up
in personal attacks. IMHO that's not what these lists ( nor the forums, nor
the social media pages ) are for.
