many of you have witnessed discussions and allegations of different kinds on this mailing list, some very offensive and disrespectful towards the community and the values that bond it together.
In order to not add further discussions, to not nurture the chaos already present, and aiming to have a fair and unbiased vote on the "motion of no confidence", as a board we agreed to not comment on individual emails during the period of the poll.
Now we feel that we need to disclose some background and provide clarification over how this all started.
It is sad to see that there is no intention to let what has turned into a "he said - she said" episode go and let it rest in the past. Inevitably what ever follows is a representation of a certain point of view. I am not questioning attempts made to be objective. Never the less, this opens the door for continuation of the "he said - she said" argumentation we have had to endure in lengthy e-mail threads and that have torn on the very substance of the community.
Even worse this is rekindled by the board.
Indeed :-( - I had hoped that this topic is done, and I'm quite sure that many people had a similar hope.
Starting now I will not consider myself a member of the openSUSE project anymore. Therefore I feel no longer bound by the Guiding Principals and the Code of conduct.
So first, I will follow James and am asking that my membership in openSUSE be revoked.
I'm sad to hear this :-( We are a do-o-cracy even when it comes to this. If you really want to revoke your membership (please don't!), go to https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/groups/111 and click "Leave group".
With this out of the way.
YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET BYGONES BE BYGONES!
I couldn't agree more - and IMHO your statement is fully covered by the code of conduct and the guiding principles, so please don't take that as the reason to revoke your membership. With the end of the non-confidence vote (independent on the result), my intention was to let this painful episode become history by no longer talking about it. I'd even love to forget what happened, but I know my /dev/brain too good - sadly forgetting all this won't happen. Nevertheless, I hope that time will heal the wounds. I'm as disappointed as you that the board decided to bring this up again, and unfortunately the board mail contains things I can't leave uncommented. Sorry for that, and I seriously hope that it will be the last mail I have to write on this topic.
