This whole thread just serves to reinforce my decision to never ever again run for the openSUSE board...
I can understand this point of view, but... the project must be managed somehow, and voting board from community members IMHO isn't bad idea... So... how to manage the project? Any better formalisable idea than what we already have? "Political culture" is hard to formalize (and enforce), but can we improve our own rules to as much as possible avoid any future (such) issues?
We might have dug ourselves into a hole here by actually making board solely about politics. openSUSE is not just politics as shocking as that might seem, and I don't know if making project guidance purely political makes that much sense then.
I'm not sure if we speak same language here... The Board *is* political bureau in the sense it's democratically voted organ supposed to lead the openSUSE project according to public interest expressed by voters selecting their desired candidates. I.e. there is no objectively defined (technical) aim where the project goes to. The future is unclear, the direction towards it is aimed by smart involved people, so that there is significant political component.
We should probably ask ourselves why was the board originally created the way it was, and does the board's current structure make sense in the current openSUSE Project, 15 years later.
Yes. It might be altered. But it must be done with calm heads and with good reasoning. We surely do need some kind of Board. -- Vojtěch Zeisek https://trapa.cz/ Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/
