+Of course (btw being an active member and being remote is of course possible).

+We're checking if we can define a framework for online votes, but,
+anyway, we will need to have physical meetings from time to time (and
+international gathering of FLOSS developers is a good point).
+Delegating voting power will be possible too.
+
+Anyway, that's were I highlight that "listening" is crux. As you say,
+we've to find a way that empowers this, but it won't replace goodwill.
