Voting for new rules would be a progressive change that would bring the community forward and improve the status quo.
I agree. We need some procedural organization (arbitration?) to cope with conflicts *in* the board
Voting to remove the Board, is a regressive option.
yes, too much aggressive IMHO
Even if we do have 10+ Candidates waiting in the wings (with only a max of 2 working for the same employer), based on my personal experience and knowledge of the internal workings at SUSE, I would not be surprised at that point that the company takes action to preserve its business interests and we find the community-led openSUSE Project is terminated in its current form.
I think this kind if remark is what makes you so unpopular in some parts of the project, when your very valuable contributions should make you very popular :-). You can't state regularly than openSUSE is independent and at the same time say a vote can break our relations. If you are true, openSUSE have *no* independence from SUSE.
After all in this day and age, what business could risk having their name attached to a community project who voted out their Board for enforcing the projects Code of Conduct?
the problem is precisely who determines if the code of conduct have been broken? specially if the problem occurs privately? a public break is easy to discuss, but who say the openSUSE code of conduct have to be the rule even in private? it's precisely this that have to be made clear. IMHO, the board is perfectly fitted to decide on code of conduct problem coming *outside* of the board, not *inside the board. https://en.opensuse.org/Code_of_Conduct is a bit too vague, the board is only quoted as "Finally, the openSUSE Board can help resolve conflicts as a means of last resort" I don't find any rule of how to remove a board member: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board harassment is probably not the best choice :-( Please, if you really think what you said at the beginning: "Voting for new rules would be a progressive change that would bring the community forward and improve the status quo", start proposing what this change can be, thanks sincerely yours jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
