Based on the genesis of the "open letter", it is hard to believe it would have helped. That said, since the letter, there have been numerous contacts to the Board and members of it, and there is likely to be a more official response to come (due to the interest in clarifying what on earth the letter was about). I look forward to further aggravated public shaming of past incompetencies, especially ones so obvious in hindsight, as it always improves motivation and encourages members to run for election. I'm sorry I couldn't find a way to write this sentence without sarcasm. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2008: Melbourne, Australia http://lca2008.linux.org.au/ "Boys will be boys, hackers will be hackers, geeks will be geeks, and cyberpunks will always just be ravers with Macintoshes." - Monkey Master, Crackmonkey _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
