Since that meeting, the Board intervened and forcefully changed who was allowed to present the topic at oSC on behalf of SUSE. This was an act that I believe to be in contravention of the Board's own rules about directing contributors and grossly exceeded it's responsibility to "Community community interests to SUSE" This is at least the second time in recent memory where the Board had directly intervened and directed contributors - my previous example would be when the Board forced the continuation of "MicroOS Desktop KDE" after it was removed due to lack of maintainers after a year+ long deprecation period.
I'll take blame for this in communications with all parties. Too much happening at the time of communicating these topics given trying to deal with talk cancellations, tsp, board notes, open 4 business, etc. Let's just move forward.
But if we do not address our governance at the same time as the branding, it is something that needs to be resolved pretty quickly afterwards.
Let's branch this subject off so the the discussions don't get too intertwined or so we can pick things up later. v/r Doug
