Daniel asserted that such a council existed, and that he endorsed elections to that council. The entire Fellowship is an organisation that Daniel created, and whose website he currently hosts, so I see no reason to believe that he is not entitled to have created a structure to manage those resources. Whether these resources have any meaningful wider support or influence is a separate discussion - I understand the argument that the current organisation has failed to demonstrate legitimacy, and seek to rectify that. I don't see a downside in having a wider range of organisations that support free software, and there's some chance this group of people Daniel scraped from a mailing list could be a representative group in that respect. _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list Discussion@lists.fsfellowship.eu https://lists.fsfellowship.eu/mailman/listinfo/discussion
