 Thanks. I am subscribed to that list, but was not aware that the
 membership was allowed to join in. I thought that that particular
 list was for board discussion only by board members only.
 
Hi Marc,

terribly sorry if we ever gave that impression. Admittedly, the
entry on http://www.documentfoundation.org/contribution/ was worded
like that (Public discussions of the Board of Directors), but I'm
rather certain it should read List for focused interaction of the
public with the Board of Directors instead. Page changed
accordingly, board-discuss in Cc: in case there's disagreement. ;)

All of that notwithstanding, point taken to spread the word a bit
wider next time such things are on the agenda.

Cheers,

-- Thorsten

I'm not sure that is the idea. Otherwise you would not get the following
message when you try to post to that list on Nabble

 Authorized Users Only
Only authorized users can proceed in this area. You can use the form below
to send a request to the administrators.
Access Request

Explain to the administrator(s) why you want to access this restricted area.


I particularly like the part Explain why

So I guess it was not meant for interaction of the public. Maybe
interaction of the members at best...

Regards,
Pedro

It is not a misconfiguration. It is a different configuration.

I think you are misinterpreting the words Public discussion list for the
Document Foundation board of directors. It is exactly what it means: a
discussion list FOR the TDF BoD members ONLY with open contents (anyone can
read for the sake of transparency), but not open participation.

The Discuss list is for open participation.

Cheers,
Pedro

2012-10-01 Thread Charles-H. Schulz
I guess what Thorsten means is that in the case of the board discuss list
Nabble might be misconfigured. Jean Weber and David Nelson posted on it
less than a month ago, so at least it works with the standard mailing list
usage. Besides the BoD always intended to make this list a list where
members can raise gouvernance related question so it cannot be intended to
be read only for non board members.

Best,
Charles.
