quickly shut down my our Mentors, rightfully, since the default
behavior should be to discuss things openly. In fact, if the very
discussion that is currently occurring (according to Terry) on the
private forum had occurred on ooo-private, we would have received a
lecture from a Mentor on the need for transparency.
Rob we are not talking about project operations in private in u.s.oo.o
either. We are talking about User Community business in private on a
User Community-run server. I know that you want to unilaterally subsume
this community into the project, but this isn't the status quo. It's a
fundamental change that you are demanding of this community.
You also rightly point out that my comments are hearsay. Can I just
point out the irony of your also speaking on a Mentor's behalf? You are
another member of the PPMC. How can you know what a Mentor will just in
this context, especially as some have expressed very different views
themselves in early related discussions. You can't. So please don't
claim this authority to strengthen your own personal position.
If any Mentors, Jim, Sam, Danese, Shane, Nóirín, Joe, Christian or Ross,
would like to have a look around the forums including the currently
private sub-forums and form their own views, then I will gladly extend
my previous invitation to give them this access.

Terry
