So data protection and freedom are not antagonists.
Michael, that's completely undisputed, but that's not the issue here. (Moreover, this was clearly not about the protection of individual data, because the data is known to everyone. After all, the confidentiality of the personal word is imho law formal not part of individual data.) What was the issue? I found out (because it was clear from the discussion) that D...f has been appointed committer based on merit (and not technical necessity[1]). Patricia countered my answer by saying that it was the PMC's right (and necessity) to speak about some things in a non-public way. I didn't demand that the PMC speak publicly about pertsonal decisions, but it was clear that individual members of the PMC had publicly expressed their own opinions. It can be assumed that they have expressed exactly the same opinions in the non-public discussion at the PMC. And what did I dislike about Patricia's statement? My _feeling_ was that Patricia overemphasized the PMC's right to non-public discussion, probably because they think I deny that right. I assure you that I do not doubt this right at all. But at the same time this right is only a necessity and not our goal, because our goal is openness wherever possible. Is this difference unclear? [1] to mark exactly this difference I referred to the case of Günter, because there it was about technical necessity and not about performance greetings, Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
