Rex, I am a bit surprise by some of your utterances. When have there ever been a situation whereby a decision has been made by the entire community? Are you telling me that you are not aware or you haven't been part of a situation whereby a decision has been taken by a select membership of the

Hello Rex, if I may intrude, I don't really get why you are making a big issue of what is past and gone. If something wasn't done right and it is now being corrected, why keep bringing up what is past and gone. I mean it's not like Felix misrepresented the community. If you knew what Felix did was

You see, That is the issue. The conversation you pull below are from how many members of the community? Were the comments shared as a final say on the part of the community? When did one, two or three members of the community's personal recommendations start to represent the whole community? In

We became a usergroup in 2014 I think hence there's no past 'couple of years' but just 2015 in which Felix went. This was what he sent to the group. There was no group discussion necessarily. Good Afternoon Guys, I wish to inform you that am looking at representing the community here in

Thanks, Asaf, That means the User Group has been doing it wrong for a couple of years, and individuals who've represented this community at the WMCon weren't picked by the community if I remember clear. On the other hand, the WMCon team hasn't ensured those picked by the community were

Next week we can start talks on who gets to go as our delegate. There should be a discussion of who should go? What if who we pick to go isn't accepted to attend? Isn't the thing open to apply then whoever is picked go? If that's how it is supposed to be done, then the previous years, whoever

Hello all. WMF wrote last week to inform us that WMCON 2017 in Berlin will be on next year. The group has to meet a few conditions so someone can have a chance to represent us. No worries on that Rexford and I will arrange for those conditions to be sorted so the group can be represented.
