As I said previously, a 'member' should be a 'contributor' upgrade kinda of thing, this to say: contributors are recognized by their active contributions on the project, and if they want to go political, they can/should upgrade to full member.
I have my time to give to explore things, package stuff and enjoy my time with the people I like, but I don't want to be 'forced' to vote, neither I want to do "political" stuff. I'm happy with the label 'community contributor', and I've recently resigned by 'membership' because no one in this world is going to force me to vote, and my stance is pretty clear, as always has been.... I'd rather live one more day as a wolf, than an entire life as a lamb.
Then you are harping about something that is not. Noone is *forced* to vote or denied anything except the expression of their wishes via voting
You probably missed the thread.
No, I was here and read it *entirely* and still do not understand where *anyone* was *required* to vote. It is/was *not* so!
if they choose not to vote. You have given up your "membership" over nothing. As far as not wanting to be involved in or do "political stuff",
It's was an earned right... It's a personal choice...
Granted, but *you* put it into a different light.
your mere participation in the mailing lists and/or this thread is "political" all the way to expressing your disdain for your mis-understood requirement for voting.
Don't rush in and try to punk me... You will fail.
older, perhaps not wiser, but well, fit and able to do battle :^)
Voting is a *privilege* gained by membership, not a requirement.
Earned ;)
Membership is "earned". Voting is a *privilege* comming with membership. But this should be enought "politicking" for the day. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
