I've spent much of the day thinking that I will just let this thread pass me by as I don't have the physical or emotional energy to jump into this. But I'm going to fire off an email because I'm getting angry!
I would like everyone to stop denigrating our new board before they have done anything, or even had a chance to meet. I have to object to the assumption that a board member will only act in the interests of their region or that we the charter members make our choices on race, gender or regional preferences. I think this runs our organisation down. There is no reason that any region will not get a fair hearing from the board no matter how it is geographically distributed. Now I would like to make it clear that I voted based on my knowledge of people (and personalities) and the **work** they do on open source projects or groups that I use. So if you would like my vote to go to your region please start building software or communities that are seen to be useful. I would really like this to be the year that we see a lot more building and a lot less whinging on this (and other) lists. Ian (one of the Charter members who no one voted for) PS - can people please observe some basic netiquette when replying to emails, trim the to list and delete the old parts of the message. -- Ian Turton
