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

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?
The person, S Kemter (aka Gnokii), was nominated and as per the requirements:
Nominations:
The election committee will take self-nominations, nominations by others and can nominate people for election. The election committee will contact the nominated people and ask them whether they are willing to stand for election. These nominations are private until accepted by the nominated people.
was approached by Thomas Schmidt by e-mail to which S Kempter responded that he had accepted the nomination and gave the URL of his blog where he states that he will be atanding for the Board.
All very much above board and done according to Hoyle.
(But what happened after this is has a certain aroma of a dead cat about it from the comments posted about this situation.....)

Basil, Please get all the facts, stop trying to troll everyone. There was a lot more going on. Please let it go. I support what the board did. A lot of people do too. Jos. +1 -- I am dyslexic, but I take the time to read all. Basil, why not stop talking and stirring the pot and contribute to the project. Take all that energy and focus it in a positive matter. You must love openSUSE that you are on the list. So why not put up or Shut. Sending e-mails to the "Off-Topic" list is not contribute. Become an ambassador, help with one of the many projects we have going one. Please for the love of God, just let this go. It over, many people have move on. Sitting there and fire e-mails a thousand e-mail with out read all the details isn't painting a very good picture of you. Again, step up and contribute to the project, or please just shut up.
