We are all the Fedora Community. Whoever steps and and gets voted in by the community should do the job. if the community votes against someone because of their employment so be it. no seats should be automatically filled by RH people. All seats should be 100% community voted upon. If in the event any person does not do their job of is not meeting the needs of the community then the board or the rest of the committee needs to censure them. along with some guidelines that if it continues you will be replaced. So if a Red Hat employee is being a continual problem and is taking a Red Hat needs this so we must do it approach they get censured by the committee, the board, their manager. I sure would not want a meeting with my manager if i were a Red Hat employee if i was kicked off or about to be Kicked off the steering committee. The Community CAN NOT be defined by Red Hat / Non Red Hat employment. for one thing people will swing both ways. for example Sopwith is no longer a Red Hat Employee but is still part of the community. Other community member have gone the other way. There are no sides. there is just one big pool of people. I will not accept any mandated percentage of people. it is a very good way to split the community. -- ,-._|\ Dennis Gilmore, RHCE / \ Proud Australian \_.--._/ | Aurora | Fedora | v _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board-readonly mailing list fedora-advisory-board-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board-readonly
