I also have some other remarks to the discussion in this thread: in<br>
Madrid, there was a meeting, there were proposals, everyone who wanted<br>
to participate could participate and we all got together instead of<br>
browsing the city. Now the list gets extended and Sirko is taken off<br>
the list because of personal disparities or why?<br></blockquote><div>Sirko is not off the list, and it was never intended to be so. I tried my best to get everyones name during the meeting but inevitably some slipped. When Gregory pointed out Sirko was missing, I forwarded the invitation to him (same when Louis pointed out that Nathan and Andreas were also present).<br>
</div><div>I also asked that everyone at the meeting to join the libre-graphics-meeting list, to make sure we are not mising anyone in the conversation.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

The meeting in Madrid was well announced. We had an in-depth<br>
discussion. Different ideas were discussed and as far as I could see a<br>
consensus was reached. After that, we keep seeing different proposals<br>
how to decide a venue popping up. Then suddenly, there is an LGM board<br>
announced that existed, even though there was not a mentioning of this<br>
before and it seems not everyone from the so-called board is even<br>
interested to involve.<br>
<br>
I find it very confusing that decisions that were reached are<br>
constantly questioned and discussed again. What is the goal here? If<br>
there was no consensus, why did not people who were not d'accord say<br>
anything? We had the advantage of a face to face meeting and it is as<br>
if it never happened?<br>
<br>
Also, despite this long email, please consider: Not everyone who wants<br>
to contribute is motivated to participate in this kind of politics and<br>
imposed re-ocurring and time-consuming online discussions.<br>
<br>
I do not know how if anyone else sees these issues, but I think more<br>
structure in a form of an organization, formalization in processes,<br>
decision making and more transparency could help to avoid such issues<br>
in future.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>As stated before, I am also not happy about the LGM board being brought up now. But focusing on that will distract from the more pertinent question; where to go for LGM2014.<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>(as an aside, this is part of the reason why one must aim to avoid last minute reveals of information, amendments and reversals of decisions. The tendency to avoid conflict in such a case may leave the person/group which proposes change with more power than is due. )<br>
