I would like to be positive on this subject, not to have such a situation again.
+1
present structure of the openSUSE community is:
* board * members * ambassadors * community active people
in the mid way, there are "teams" or "sub-groups" (for example the membership select group).
Don't you think we could enhance the system, giving the members some more importantce. After all there are less than 500 members, a manageable group.
It would be quite positive. After all members signed the Guidance Lines Principles. So they show at the beginning how much they love to enhance the openSUSE Project and Community a little beyond their contributions, right ?
We could, for example, open retro to all the members and make the number of +1 necessary to become a member grow to 10?
and on the hot subject, could we have a *private* opensuse-members list? private, that is with closed posting and archives only available for members.
Some information should keep inside this members group for a while as everybody needs some spaces to move around before make a statement. That is the purpose of access level and that is not always a bad stuff
If such a list have existed, we could have discussed the present case completely, without the risk for anybody to have the net unvail the names and the facts. The board could have explained all the situation.
This is healthy and wise. I completely support these ideas. There is too much pointless noise and ego around.
I would feel rather more comfortable
And at least me too.
