thank you. I know that. But as you know there were some behaviors from key TDF members which throw me out of the project. I worked only voluntary and since Feb. 2018 as pure volunteer. I enjoyed the view on TDF from a pure volunteer since then with all features ;-) And I got a more balanced view (different from the view from the inner circle). > > What you write is (I assume) intended as humorous, but doesn't seem a > terribly fair characterization from many angles.

It's always fine to have volunteers which stand for running the governance. But I'm a fan of real and wide spread diversity among them. If you have a look into the statutes of TDF and the spirit between the lines you will see this as the DNA of the foundation. From my current perspective I would change ยง 8 IV S. 2 of the statutes from 'one third of the members' to 'one member'. But this is only my own opinion. > (...) > > Hope all's well, Yes and I got more time for spare time activities others than reading emails, coding and server / website administration ;-) And I had also to spend a lot of energy to get into new topics of my payed job.
