The need for a Code of Conduct has been raised and it's a good point.
While we're at it though, there needs to be female representation on the
Ausnog board. I see where there's 5 directors been appointed, and
they're
all men. I'm wondering who is doing the appointing.
That they couldn't find a woman up to the required standard gives
rise to
an unfortunate impression of the board acting as a boy's club.
I strongly recommend against appointing someone on the basis of
gender, or other physical characteristics. Similarly, in the case of
an election, I recommend against reserving seats on the basis of
gender or other physical characteristics.
The most promising candidates should be considered regardless of their
gender or other physical characteristics.
I stand by merit based promotion, election and appointment. There are a
growing number of people in our society who are arguing against
meritocracy. The site below refers specifically to open source software
(or, as I prefer to call it, FOSS) but the movement against merit is
broader than that.
