Is it standard procedure for credentials of Foundation members to be discussed on-list like this -- particularly for existing members in good standing?
For example, I don't recall my own membership being discussed herein when I was renewed; it was done in private email with the Membership Committee. My GNOME contributions have indeed been eclectic, non-regular and, well, just plain "different" than the norm. For example, I've helped with licensing policy discussions and drafting, and I've done some work to defend GNOME 3 publicly against the "Linus Torvalds attacks". Meanwhile, upon reading this sub-thread and considering my own contributions to the GNOME Foundation, I'm frankly left wondering if my membership would be "next" to be called into question on this thread. I imagine that I'd feel *really* uncomfortable and even personally offended if my own membership were being called into question publicly on this list! Thus, IMO, it frankly seems unnecessarily aggressive and downright inappropriate to question someone's fitness for membership on the public list like this, and I hope that folks will show restraint and raise any such issues privately among the Membership Committee and the member in question. -- bkuhn _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
