I don't mean at all novell employees are not good persons, but nobody can have two hats...
I wonder why and with what purpose you are trying to put a negative accent on the fact that there are three Novell employees in the board (2 elected by the community).
I don't at all. Novell is perfectly right to want a majority in the board, they pay enough for that... I only say than nobody can be trusted if he have an interest conflict (sorry, I don't know exactly the english word: "conflit d'intérêt" in freench). I mean: if Novell wants to do some sort of openSUSE config and the community at large dont like it (say, include zmd...), how are the Novell folks be able to vote? and, of course, Why would Novell ask for some official board member if he was not sure they will follow he's instructions? I only want to know when a particular people speak if he speaks for the electors or for Novell. And note that Novell is the only company to have board member "tagged"
To conclude, please keep on topic. The questions Pascal asked were on the rules/organisation for the elections, not on the number of Novell employees who will be member of the board.
don't try to lauch a troll out of topic. I never said Novell must'nt have board members, on the contrary I said Novell should designate himself his board members. In fact Novell was probably wrong when he decided to give us the rules. He should probably have said: I choose the chairman and he will have veto right, elect the others... and trust the community. Probably 4 people is also not enough for the board and if we could vote freely, may be more than 1/2 of the member could have been Novell's, because many very high end openSUSE community workers are' effectively Novell workers... jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://clairedodin.voices.com/ http://www.clairedodin.com/ http://claire.dodin.net/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
