But that's a good thing that being on the board do not give you more power, just more responsibility. This way, you can do what you want without being elected. Now, I can see that lots of people do not really get this and how much freedom is given to them, since this is in total contradiction with most organization, where you need to ask before doing anything. The board is a advisory board, so it is here to give advice, nothing more, nothing less. If people want to be given order or direction, then I can give "do what you want to do", and if they do not want, then I have a specific set of request i would be happy to have someone working for me :) -- Michael Scherer _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
