There are topics like those raised in the ongoing name/logo thread, but I foresee many more in the future, regarding such as things like budgets, membership dues, etc.
Maybe I missed discussion about this, but "membership dues" is concerning to me - I think this project should continue to be driven by the people who do the work, not the people who make monetary contributions.
As such, I wouldn't be in favor of individuals or organizations being able to buy influence in the project.
I know there's a long history of people wanting to be able to give money to the project to help with costs, and I'm fine with that as long as membership and influence over the project isn't predicated on "he who has the gold makes the rules".
You didn't miss it, we didn't really have it yet other then covering it at the conference in places, the current plan is rules for membership will remain the same as at the moment so people giving money won't have a general impact on decisions like this. They might give us money so the project can go and do something it hasn't done in the past but that's a completely different thing. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
