There are two different problems: Why people don't want or don't care be a candidate? Right now, there are only one candidate [1], not enough to fill the seats we need change.
The second point is related to what you say about your proposal. Reading again the log from 2014-10-07 [2] the last action proposed was contact you with Luke. I think Walter couldn't contact Luke, and nothing moved after that, in part because we was dumped with GCI work. I don't see newer logs/minutes here [3], but the links to latest meetings are here: Nov: http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/2014-11-04 Dec: http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/2014-12-02 Jan: http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/2015-01-13 http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/2015-01-14 Gonzalo [1] http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/2014-2015-candidates [2] http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/meetings/2014-10-07 [3] http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/Minutes On Wed, Jan 28, 2015 at 1:17 PM, Sebastian Silva <sebast...@fuentelibre.org> wrote: > Hola Gonzalo, > > In consequence to the matters as you describe them, what action plan > does the board have to address them? > > I wrote to the board in November offering to volunteer for election > committee but got no response. > > Regards, > Sebastian > > > > El 26/01/15 a las 14:57, Gonzalo Odiard escibiĆ³: > > Hi Dan, > > I suppose you are asking about Sugar Labs Oversight Board, right? > > (I don't think OLPC had a elected board at any time of their history) > > I am one of the members of the Oversight Board at the moment, > > but this is only my personal opinion. > > The number of volunteers proposed to integrate the board decreased > > in the last years, and at the end of 2013, we had less volunteers > > than seats to renew.
