Gnokii was not just a member who was removed, he is a nominated candidate for the board election [2].

http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_election#Nominations:

as far as I know, he was only nominated by Nelson (and I didn't see this on any official mailing list) and during the discussion Nelson never reported this (although the discussion was so long I may have missed the fact), and we have no evidence gnokii was a candidate. However, Nelson was (is).

I don't want to start again the discussion on the other aspects of this problem.

Sorry, if I just repeated things.

Well, from where I sit all conditions for nomination to be a candidate in the current election for the Board have been met.

*sigh*

Why don't you read? Seriously, it's completely silly that I have to write the below again as anyone with eyes and a brain will know it has been said about 10 times by now...

0. you have to be a member to run for the board 1. he isn't a member so can't run for the board anymore 2. the process to remove him from the board was started about 2 months ago 3. the only reason there was one day overlap between the kick-out and the candidacy is because the holidays (and the board wanting to do this properly and not hastily) 4. we communicated this to the election commitee. Surely they were critical, rightly so, it's an unfortunate situation. But in the end, a non-member can't run for the board, so that's it.

Again, read before you post please. Everyone on this list is done with this discussion (and probably sick of it) especially because it is going around and around due to, among others, you. Just let it go or bring it up by the board if you want to hear all these things again and again in other wordings. I'm sure they have written a script by now that re-arranges the paragraphs of their initial statement in a different order to automatically answer such mails.

Jees, you read english, don't you, or do you only WRITE it?

There is a reason barely anyone wants to respond to Basil, he always turns up when there is a political debate going on and otherwise isn't to be seen. Btw the person removed was quite the opposite, while often coming across badly he really put work into opensuse, so it's a shame it had to come to this.
