Well, that's not what I meant, and I certainly could have worded it better. I have a lot of respect to the board's work and mission, and I never mean to insult anybody or their work in this way. The issue at hand is public communication about the topics. I read it the way you probably meant it, but could easily read it otherwise. But, I've known you for quite a while. Please understand that quite a lot of our members haven't and don't use the platforms you use.
My guess is that you kind of make the same mistake I made years ago. The openSUSE Board Election does not ask for some political campaign with you selling yourself and your ideas. In the end it's about becoming part of a (yet another ) team, that has specific tasks, pretty well described in the rules. A sentence like "I'd like to bring blah blah blah to be discussed in the board" sounds completely different than your current statement. By just making firm statements nothing changes, it needs discussion based on equality, open mindedness and an open ear for what ( teams in ) the community want/desire. In cases like this, I suggest what I've been suggested myself: before posting have someone you trust proof-read your writing. Listen to their feedback, re- write, feedback again etc. Makes you have to explain/defend less. -- Gertjan Lettink a.k.a.
