[09-29-10 09:34]: We should have a light weight process that is not overly complex and results in endless votes. We vote for people that volunteer their time for the openSUSE project and don’t get any material benefits for it. So, let’s keep that in mind when discussing alternatives.
If you have a better proposal, please speak up - but on a practical level I think this is the best thing we as project can do to keep the board functional.
Your valid concern is handled by the additional restriction that any appointments are only appointments until the next election - so for at most a year but never for longer.
Except that the condition may repeat itself with some immediacy. While not very likely, still a "loop-hole". Perhaps add language to require another vote should this happen in a defined period.
Yes, that's basically what Vincent reminded us: If we notice that we have not enough people, then we will ask again for additional candidates and move the elections. There shouldn't be any loop-holes in the sense that we should not have a situation that is not handled in the rules, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
