Howdy,

Just look at what happened with the voting process about the fliers: even though Jorge
has prepared it meticulously, none of the answer he's got actually gave what he asked
for.
The is a reason for this: the arguing by Haiku Inc. BOD members to the
effect that it is solely up to the BOD how the funds are used have
virtually invalidates this kind of vote. You really can't expect people
to participate on what has been portrayed as an illegitimate call for
vote by BOD members and/or core devs.
What's unfortunate is that everyone knew that I was going to call for a
vote (I announced it on the mailing list), and it's like they waited
until I put all the effort and actually called the vote before actually
killing it. What a waste of time.
How could we expect any decision body to work, if the community doesn't react to these
votes as required?
You can't let people start a vote, kill it after the fact and then claim
that the process does not work. The voting process may need refinement,
but it is definitely viable; it works for other things, so there is no
reason it cannot work for expenditures.
What needs to happen is an official sanction of the process that
clarifies who can initiate votes and on what.
Cheers,
Jorge/aka Koki
