A couple points Kin. First, I think we need to give the rest of the exec a chance to respond, and I'm sure Szemir has real work to do during the day, rather than responding to long winded emails like mine. :) So I think a little patience is in order before we assume the worst. Also, this IS a somewhat political issue. I know there are some people on the list sitting back and thinking "where did this come from?", or just wanting to avoid politics, so are monitoring things to see what falls out of it. Like you said, anytime there is more than one person, there's politics. But we do need to be fair and get the full picture. > > From the height of the announcement of LinuxFest NorthWest 07 to > scrapping of the bottom of the barrel -- what an unbelievable dismal > journey. I guess I know who I can thank. I think you might be jumping the gun here just a bit... :) Any talk about LinuxFest seems to generate interest. And it is a topic just asking for opinions (ask 100 programmers/techs an opinion on a topic, and you'll get 100 different responses). I think we need to periodically air out the laundry so we can move forward in a positive manner. If we don't, then people will just leave. I know I've been close to that choice for the past while, and we have lost some other key people from the list as well. But lets let the communication happen so we can get past this. For the Exec. The LF07 conversation was nipped in the bud in June. And again in September. We received instructions on 29 Sept not to "enter into any communications with outside agencies about locations or dates until we've had a closer look at this. Any contact with these groups/institutions will happen when ready." It's now been almost three months. When can we take part?
