Since you asked... As I participated in a number of discussions early on, I noticed a lot of things where the founding people just rammed through their opinion without really listening to the community. In some cases, the community decision was aligned with the members, but they stilled didn't take to the decision through the community but through what they wanted so it the decision seemed more forced on the community than decided by the community even in those cases - e.g. go back and read the Copyright Assignment discussion. So while I do hope that the TDF leadership does start listening to the community, etc. I have yet to see that really happen any better than Oracle was doing.
