If the majority of the board feels the way Simon does, then I'm not sure where that leaves us.
This is exactly how I felt reading this conversation, and frankly, I still do.
I don't think that's the feeling of the majority of the board. From the meeting in question, it was mostly reluctance to do something when Simon and Georg were telling us it's fixable. Gertjan, Doug, and I all basically said that we need to see this improve.
So the board's position is that the status quo isn't acceptable.

Given that only Simon had been commenting on the issue until recently, and was tasked with monitoring the problematic channels, his assertion that everything was "fine" is concerning to me. When members of the Board want to selectively enforce the Code of Conduct, it raises questions about the trustworthiness of the entire Board. My 2C.
I don't know about the others, but at least for me, I only responded today because I've been busy this week on lots of other things. I'm preparing to fly out for a conference tomorrow! 😅 Most of the board is of the opinion that our conduct rules should be applied equally, *regardless* of venue. One of the members made the case that IRC is culturally too different and needs special care. We acceded to them to give them a chance to improve things, but at the same time we reaffirmed that IRC is not allowed to remain special. It is an openSUSE venue and must operate in-line with all other openSUSE venues. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!
