Yeah, goal was to elect half each year - but I fear we make it to complicated...
Currently it just happens this way and only resignation/new appointments will break it,
yes, many groups work like this. One detail is to forgive the people who resign to be candidate next time, I have a group where many people resign just to be elected again, braking the (implicit) rule :-( the problem is to keep an elected board., with a so small members number, appointment change too much the status of the group. the two years/half group system allows better continuity, prevent a complete change of politics at each elections... there are two main problem for us: * identify active member for voting (the member approval system fails, nowaday: there are not sufficient number of people to check candidates) * clearly identifing the board work. Be part of the board seems to be pretty boring and not that rewarding. We may have to find some way to make the board speaking more impressive. We have elected board members, when they speak or write, this should be important. May be we could organise a physical meeting of the board once a year, at a worldwide openSUSE event. We need such event, and it would be nice if we could have it in sync with continental important open source meeting (RMLL, FOSDEM or some other for Europe, one in asia and one in states, on a three years round?) - but do we have the money? jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://pizzanetti.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
