Comment on A cash crunch at the Gnome Foundationparent

Comments

No substantial discussion of invoicing issues, no discussion of how governance could be changed to address these issues, no discussion of how contributors and users could get involved to fix things, no discussion of what the Gnome Foundation has accomplished and whether it could be more efficient about it.

I thought I was pretty clear on this point; the Gnome Foundation board appears to have operated far outside the foundation charter and if so, should be censured and ideally recalled.

Assuming that this assessment is accurate:

To address continuity of the OPW specifically, board members that wish to continue administering the OPW program can resolve governance and accountability issues, while ensuring OPW's continuity, by resigning and founding a distinct organization that has within its charter the administration of OPW.

Any remaining board members should be recalled, reaffirming the board's fiduciary mandate to operate within the Gnome Foundation charter.
