+1. I would also much prefer to have an elected Board of Directors.
For a lot of political and ethical reasons, I second this view. The Board, including its Chairman should, ideally, be elected by its community, I think we almots all agree of that ideal. But the reality, that no one here can deny, is that SUSE has indeed a "special" relationship with openSUSE. And the other way round as well. We might have others sponsors and I hope we will get more. But I seriously doubt that we will ever get one with a similar link as we have with SUSE. So having, amongst the Board, an "ambassador" from SUSE is not "pay to play" (to "play" what exactly btw?), it is just realistic and if we remove it I think it will make certain things difficult. Should the "ambassador" be the Chairman of the Board is another question. I do not think this is necessary and would rather like the Chairman be elected by the other Board members. -- 'When there is no more room at school, the dumb will walk the Earth.'
