The "people of openSUSE" actually sounds like a fun side project. I'll see what I can do to get it going again.
Did anyone see what I wrote the other day about this subject?
No, sorry, I'm afraid I missed that. What exactly do you mean?

This is what I wrote. Could maybe a solution to this “inactive member vote” idea be to have a smaller set of decisions made by a smaller group? We all understand that the Board is here “to” help the community but “not to” direct the community. Many of us also think that by voting, we are indeed influencing how the project is managed, when in reality the Board feels that they are not really there to steer the project but to be an aid. That indicates having a passive nature to their involvement. We all know that all the members of the Board are active members of the community. Then, why not let the Board vote for its own new addition? My reasoning here would solve some issues: 1, Thinking that by voting you are electing people who are going to champion your ideas about the project 2, Avoid inactive members of the community voting overcoming the vote of the active members 3, Follow an open source idea where the ones that do, decide 4, Help the community in the same way that they do, without getting the perspective that their group leads the project PS: I would say also that we could follow current rules for selecting a candidate and how many periods that person could stay in the Board. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
