No, you would use no-confidence exactly in the situation when somebody else would be more suitable to be on board than the current board members. I don't think that's the case here, the current board acted according to the rules. If you want to approach it from the side that actually will change things, please ask the community for a rule change instead of a no-confidence.
I have to disagree here.
Additionally I don't get why asking for a rule change might be more applicable than asking for a no-confidence vote. That would not in the least address the events that lead me to consider the no-confidence vote as the best option and reaction to what happened in the last few weeks.
Voting for new rules would be a progressive change that would bring the community forward and improve the status quo. Voting to remove the Board, is a regressive option. If the vote is successful, I expect that we will find ourselves without a governing body. This is based on every previous board election in the last 5 years have had difficulty finding candidates. Even if we do have 10+ Candidates waiting in the wings (with only a max of 2 working for the same employer), based on my personal experience and knowledge of the internal workings at SUSE, I would not be surprised at that point that the company takes action to preserve its business interests and we find the community-led openSUSE Project is terminated in its current form. After all in this day and age, what business could risk having their name attached to a community project who voted out their Board for enforcing the projects Code of Conduct? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
