HI, Sebastian The problem is mine. I should have locked the page at the time the motions were made. The issue is simply procedural, the motion was to approve the job as described on the page. Like Clinton, using a wiki page was a convenience to avoid having to copy it in the motion. Tony On

as a former SLOB, I could say that in the past this was because some matters involving OLPC, or embargoed press information, or a partnership with a third party, required confidentiality. Perhaps today's SLOBs have a different point of view Sean On Wed, Apr 6, 2016 at 2:45 PM, Dave Crossland w

Hi, James My apologies. I am new to this and have made a lot of mistakes. However, I don't believe it is fair to accuse me of 'hiding' anything. As you know following my first meeting in February, I posted a conglomeration of the ideas thrown out as to the position (http://wiki.sugarlabs.org

I'm not sure the translation team wants to be led in that way, and I'd not like to lose volunteers. We have so few. The hiding of SLOBs deliberations once they move to their private mailing list caused this situation; Wiki technology is a bad match for decision making bodies unless clear processe

The formal motion was sent at 5pm April 5, 2016. It was seconded at 7:25pm April 5, 2016 (both times EST). Any changes to the TCM job description made after the formal motion was submitted and seconded should not be considered in votes on the motion. Naturally, if the Board thinks changes are n
