You call a vote of no confidence in the Board because they _did_their_job_ in enforcing our Code of Conduct..then say that you want a healthy community where our Code of Conduct is valued?
Throughout the weeks before the election and throughout the election weeks Sarah’s application and its wording and expressed opinion had at no
The question is not only what they did but how they did it. Additionally I question whether they really did enforce the Code of Conduct or only their own personal opinions. No accusation meant here, but as I already pointed out: point been ruled as violation of Guidelines or the Code of Conduct. There has even never been any discussion about it. If there would have been any evidence or indication of a violation those points should have been a topic and should have lead to ruling Sarah out of candidacy. But unfortunately that has never happened. It might be possible that it already has been discussed in private and behind the scenes, but was never communitcated and the timing afterwards was bad. Nonetheless, the impression it made is what I pointed out and that was a topic for other members of the community, too, so I am not alone with that. Not to mention that Christian left the board exactly for what happened in that process of removing Sarah and the very way it was done.
I see that as undefensible hypocracy.
If your call for a vote is supported, I will see it as nothing other but a vote *against* the Board's enforcement of our Code of Conduct.
I don't think so.
And in such a situation, yes, not only do I never see anyone volunteering for the Board again, I can absolutely seeing SUSE restricting how openSUSE continues in the future.
If that's the case and what happens, well, then we do even have worse problems in general than only what happened within the board in the last weeks.
In the current social climate, as the company owning the openSUSE trademarks, could you really see SUSE allowing the continued use of the openSUSE trademarks to a community that just kicked out the Board that enforced it's Code of Conduct?
Throughout the weeks before the election and throughout the election weeks Sarah’s application and its wording and expressed opinion had at no
As I already pointed out multiple times: It's exactly what has been questioned; did it really enforce the Code of Conduct or misuse it in their interests? Again, no accusation meant here, but that's an impression that was raised by what and how it has happened. Maybe enforcing the Code of Conduct should happen more like enforcing the law, dividing power into a legislature, an executive, and a judiciary. But the board acted in the name of all three without any discussion upfront. Again, my quote of myself from above: point been ruled as violation of Guidelines or the Code of Conduct. There has even never been any discussion about it. If there would have been any evidence or indication of a violation those points should have been a topic and should have lead to ruling Sarah out of candidacy.
There is no debate to be had here..the idea of destroying the Board needs to die or else we need to be prepared that openSUSE dies with it.
This call is about re-election not destruction. Whole nations survived re- elections. We as the openSUSE community should be no exception. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
