Try to be more visible then, posting what's up with Indiana and what changes to the project are being discussed.

Not that I don't get the reason behind the decision, actually I feel positive towards it because we get things like ZFS root and Caiman quicker this way, but for being a community thing, there's quite a bunch of things being decided in private. > Such an attitude towards those working in the area of marketing is > disheartening, and to me, against our core community values. Yeah, well, maybe I'm a bit cranky because said marketing is advocating how the open community is influencing and participating in Indiana, yet requires a troublemaker stepping on someone's foot to actually notified about a rather fundamental decision. -mg
