Claudia,

I totally understand that real life gets in the way. I travel for work as well, and it makes things difficult. I think the most important thing is to be transparent about it when you may not be able to make it, and simply say so. There are other ways than just the board meeting to contribute to being a SLOB, however I don't think I'm incorrect in stating that the meetings are a critical place for actual collaboration to happen, or at least should be.

Regards,
Alex Perez

I understand the concern, Alex. I am committed and interested in continuing to serve, even if I have only participated 4 times this year.

When I agree to join the board again, the schedule had been established, so it took couple of months for the schedule to adjust. That said, we should look at alternative dates, given the members of the board. As much as I plan in advance, I could be on a plane, plane may be delay, etc.

Happy to have a conversation.

Best,

Claudia

Hello Alex


I prefectly understand your concerns. I am very worried about the goals for 2018.

But maybe you didn't see the part that we are having an election this December.

https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/2018-2020-candidates

I encourage candidate that want to move the organization forward to apply. It involves a lot of commitment and also response to monthly meeting.


I remember saying Thank You to you when you created the wiki.

Ignacio, though your seat isn't up for election yet. But we will replace you, as you requested based on the rank of the candidates after the election. As the election committee did for Claudia as she replace Laura.


I am still pretty excited about the goals and how to implement it.


Regards

TBH. I honestly thought I wasn't a SLOB member anymore :)
I'm in for leaving my seat to another one.

I've got too much work and I can no longer contribute to anything like I used when I didn't had responsibilities

I hereby assert that the Sugar Labs Oversight Board has become stagnant to the point of near-100% ineffectiveness. It no longer serves the intended purpose, and the quality of discourse at the SLOB meetings themselves has diminished to near-zero.

Back in June/July of 2018, I created https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Goals/2018_Submissions from the user submissions Sameer had collected into a spreadsheet, and shared them to the IAEP mailing list on July 8th. Not a single person responded, not even to say a simple "thanks". I would now like to point out the following bad behavior, and suggest that the current status quo for Sugar Labs oversight is actively detrimental to the health of the overall organization.

2018 SLOB meeting attendees by month:

January: walterbender, samsongoddy, CanoeBerry, sverma
February: walterbender, samsongoddy, CanoeBerry, sverma, llaske
March: walterbender, samsongoddy, Claudia, sverma, llaske
April: walterbender, samsongoddy, llaske
May: walterbender (!!!)
June: walterbender, samsongoddy, Claudia,  llaske
July: walterbender, samsongoddy, CanoeBerry, Claudia, sverma
August: walterbender, samsongoody, sverma, llaske
September: walterbender, samsongoddy, llaske
October: walterbender, samsongoddy
November: walterbender, samsongoddy, Claudia


For the SLOB members who cannot be bothered to regularly attend the meetings, please review the last few chat logs at:

September - https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/2010/Meeting-log-2018-09-07 October - https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/2010/Meeting-log-2018-10-05 November - https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Oversight_Board/2018/meeting-log-2018-11-03


So, to recap, for the year so far:

Walter has attended 11/11 meetings
Lionel has attended 5/11 meetings
Sameer has attended 3/11 meetings
Adam has attended 3/11 meetings
Samson has attended 10/11 meetings
Ignacio has attended zero meetings
Claudia has attended 3/11 meetings
