I see it like OSM(F) is trying to grow up. I don't know why people
expect everyone to have the same (the right^TM) opinion. We don't.
So yes, this is politics. And especially big ideas (changing the
world or not) need a political process in an existing organisation,
because naturally, not everyone has the same big idea. Or thinks it
is worthwhile to pursue.<br>
<br>
I'm rather happy to see a resolution coming from the base. And I
hope more will come when the time is right. Choice is good, it helps
finding a compromise. I think the democratic process, which is
running right now, is worth the trouble, no matter what the result.<br>
<br>
Thank you to all the people working for this upcoming vote.<br>
<br>
Yours<br>

P.S. It's luckily not an option to abolish the democratic process.
But given the many loud mails recently complaining, I felt like
supporting it.<br>
