Great anyone have more thoughts? BTW nothing has been done "behind the scenes"... All discussions have been posted to the mailing lists and talked about and presented at conferences / hackfests. Nothing has or will be hidden. I just want to make sure that we're clear on that :) Has anyone reviewed the document at all? And there was no push to get the bylaws voted on at the last meeting because we fell short of a long enough review period (but since we had finished the doc we wanted to make sure it was available for some discussion at the general meeting)... Not to vote on. Mirko we need more volunteers - are you willing to help here? You have good opinions. Thanks, Brendan On Tue, Jun 16, 2015 at 10:42 AM, Mirko Tietgen <mirko@abunchofthings.net> wrote:
I don't know how to say this without stepping on anyone's toes, but I think this discussion is taking a problematic direction. I don't think it is good to tie the general discussion and decision on all things fundraising to the personal situation of people that may be funded once all is settled.
I refuse to agree I »have put somebody in a difficult situation« because I opposed voting on things that were made public on very short notice before meetings. I was not informed I was discussing anyone's situation. A situation I knew nothing about.
It seems like behind the scenes it has already been agreed to 1) put money into the fund 2) pay somebody with that money
so I have a simple proposal for the parties involved. Please consider contracting people directly until the fundraising stuff is actually up and running and everybody is happy.
Hope that does not anger anyone,
Mirko
PS. Yes, I would like to see Jonathan continue his fine work on Koha. Just to make that clear.
