Hi Martin,
Thank you
spi-board is a list of the board of directors to communicate. It's
also used as a contact address for the board.
OK, but in terms of content, what discussions would be more appropriate
to direct to spi-board than to, I guess, spi-general?
Anything that is confidential. For example, a potential legal issue.
Why would a potential legal issue be confidential?
Do you know that there were discussions about that topic on spi-board? If so,
could you estimate the volume? If not, do you have other examples of
confidential topics which would be more appropriate for spi-board than for
other lists?
[...]
spi-private is the only one I am member of. Board elections is one
topic sometimes treated on that list, but a private list should not
be designated as the proper forum for electoral discussions.
Personally, I feel that spi-private has been overused and most of the
conversation should have been on spi-general. spi-private should only
be used for things that should not be public / publicly archived.
I agree with you. From the approximately 100 mails sent to spi-private
which I have read, I do not remember a single one which could not have
been sent to spi-general (instead).
I prefer -private because generally speaking, I am talking to voting members.
The general public is great and there are times where that is appropriate but
we are not an open source project. We are a corporation led by our members,
with oversight by our board and run by our officers.
I fail to get this. Transparency is not only relevant to open source projects.
Sincerely,
JD
