Hi Edward, Hi List,
1. Board members must/should be active developers.If we want that the active developers elect the board then we must define who are active developers.The reason for making board members active developers is to avoid a split between the board and the developers. The risk of having a board made completely of developers is that user issues my end up being ignored. What about having the majority of board members limited to developers and having a minority of members selected with a more "open democratic process".
I think the asumption behind your thoughts does not really fit. The board does discuss: * Naming Rights * Licenses * AdministrativesSo to make it short - all this things are closely related to publish and protect the work of the developers-team. There are no "user-issues" so I dont know any reason why and on what users should have a vote on this board ? If a "user" contributes *some* code, he does this under the currently running license, if a user does *much* work, he will raise up to "developer" status and might to get in the board. If a user wants a feature he can kindly ask for it, but there is no base for him to demand that development. Nevertheless development is very open in OpenCA - if someone does work that is considered to be release-quality it will be included in the official tree. Other projects are a lot stronger with this !
