Board? which board? I understand the current term expired years ago, meaning 'the board' does not exist - 'implicit term renewal by forgetting to call for elections' is a new legal concept which would be a superb source of income for litigation lawyers if applied in the real world If anybody wonders about the above: I am super-pissed about the utterly unprofessional behavior of the past board on the issue. I also want to make clear which message you guys are sending to your constituency by your failure to take _any_ action: a) well yes, you entrusted us to keep things going by voting for us but we dont really care anymore (read as: stick your vote elsewhere please) b) we are so burnt out that we cant even call it quits and pass the buck c) the concept of professional responsibility has no meaning for us in this context Not sure this is what you meant to convey, but certainly that is the message which arrives - if you dont believe it, listen outside your circle It is about time this be cleaned up, and the onus to get the ball rolling falls on a certain Mr Alex Joni, which I understand to have been chairman at some point in the past, if memory and google serves me right You dont like the heat: dont go into the kitchen. You dont like the chores of non-coding activities: call it quits. But please stop prolonging the hiatus. And no more of the 'we are low profile, light touch', please. And: it is not your call to determine if a board is needed or not - it is the constituency's call which elected you. - Michael > It's well known that > people work better if they already have something in front of them, so > perhaps you could draft what you think a mission statement for the > LinuxCNC project should say and pass it to them for consideration. > > Regards, > Kent > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) platform delivers complete > security visibility with the essential security capabilities.
