+<PRE>2012/5/30 Anne Nicolas &lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">ennael at mageia.org</A>&gt;:
+&gt;<i> Le 30/05/2012 12:43, Wolfgang Bornath a &#233;crit :
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> A. Request to open discussion logs of the board about the Mandriva
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> agreement
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I'm referring to the announcements wrt the collaboration with Mandriva
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> SA and the usage of the Mageia distribution as base for server
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> products, as announced in the blog entry:
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> <A HREF="http://blog.mageia.org/en/2012/05/21/mageia-comes-full-circle/">http://blog.mageia.org/en/2012/05/21/mageia-comes-full-circle/</A>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> 1. I am NOT against any of the points mentioned there, so pls do not
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> take this as an unfriendly act or even a lack of trust in the board or
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> single members of the board. This it is definitely NOT!
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> 2. I respect the need for non-disclosure by the Mandriva SA side while
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> these negotiations/discussions were going on. I also respect the fact
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> that the internal discussions of the board about the matter were not
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> to be held in public at that time.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Now the announcements were made in public these reasons for
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> non-disclosure are not valid any more.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> **Therefore I request the logs of the internal discussions of the
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> board about this matter to be opened to the public and this opening
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> being announced to the public.**
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I am positively sure that 2 weeks are more than enough to decide on
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> this request.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Reasons:
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> 1. Transparency is a top requirement for such a project as Mageia. The
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> more this transparency is needed if the matter is of great interest to
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> all members of the Mageia community. If the transparency can not be
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> provided because of valid reasons (as has been the case here) it
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> should be established as soon as these reasons are not valid any more.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> 2. The following questions are not answered by a mere announcement:
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &#160;- was the decision to enter the agreement with Mandriva SA unanimous
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> or were there votes against it?
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &#160;- if there were votes against it who were the people voting in favor
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> and who votest against it?
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &#160;- what were the arguments of both sides
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> These questions can only be answered by opening the internal logs
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> concerning this matter.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Again: this request only concerns the *internal* discussions in the
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Mageia board, not any discussions with external entities (namely
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Croset and/or Mandriva SA).
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Here are the details.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> After first contacts, the discussion took place on council mailing-list (see
+</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="https://ml.mageia.org/l/arc/council/2012-03/msg00078.html">https://ml.mageia.org/l/arc/council/2012-03/msg00078.html</A>). But after
+</I>&gt;<i> Mandriva wish we did go on on closed discussions, as explained wy Wobo in
+</I>&gt;<i> his mail. But at that point consensus was already there.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Second step happened after a second meeting with Mandriva. We mailed a
+</I>&gt;<i> summary of this meeting on board-private first and get an agreement of *all*
+</I>&gt;<i> &#160;board members about the way we wanted to manage Mandriva proposal.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Then on third step, a mail about all this has been sent directly to all
+</I>&gt;<i> council members proposing a way to handle all this. Then people went
+</I>&gt;<i> directly to pad to work on public announcement. Nobody expressed any
+</I>&gt;<i> disagreement.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> You can see this pad, it's still available here:
+</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="https://pad.riseup.net/p/mdv-foundation">https://pad.riseup.net/p/mdv-foundation</A>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> You can also see all private discussions (mails) here:
+</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="http://svnweb.mageia.org/org/mails/board-private-mandriva-2012-archive/">http://svnweb.mageia.org/org/mails/board-private-mandriva-2012-archive/</A>

+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+Thanks Anne and all members of Board / Council for the fast and
+understand way you handled this.
+
+Request closed (except for the contact issue)
+
+A good solution for the contact issue was given by Nicolas (IIRC):
+Send the request like I did to mageia-discuss (with this formal tag
+in the subect) and add the matching contact address (board or council)
+in CC.
+
+BTW:<A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/en/contact/">http://www.mageia.org/en/contact/</A> gives NOT FOUND when called from
+<A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/en/map/">http://www.mageia.org/en/map/</A>
