I'd like to mention some things here, from the thread: - The board has never been more transparent ( Vincent/Wafaa ) than currently. - One of the ongoing items in the board meetings ( with publishing regular minutes on the project ML ) actually is transparency. Do not expect us to be perfect in this matter. FWIW we decided NOT to discuss this ( thread ) in our yesterday BM, instead to keep it here, with us as individuals taking part. - What does sadden me: I've always felt that after standing up for board ( not my personal plan, but on community request ) I could count votes as a statement of trust in that I would work as a board member in the interest of the community. From this thread I get that doesn't fit.
The community cannot know how you interpret their wishes and desires. The ones who voted for you no doubt trust you, but would probably still like to know. The ones who didn't vote for you might also like to know. Why should "trust but verify" not apply to you and/or the board?
If I would have known I'd be out in the open "stark naked", I doubt I would have stepped up. Has it ever occurred to someone that as a board member my first priority is the community, not by personal desires / opinions?
Your _personal_ interpretation of "community" is very important though. Maybe it doesn't coincide with somebodyelses interpretation. I still think it is your personal opinion on the community that matters.
- Are we going to deal with all the other teams like this as well? I.e. Are the forums team going 100% transparent? Can all the mod area discussions be anonimized and publised? Same for the other teams?
If those teams are elected or appointed by the community, in principle I think we ought to. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (23.2°C) member, openSUSE Heroes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
