<div>nowadays translators tools give us a good
understanding of content of texts from other languages.
I suggest that you re-read Roland discussion which is
simply about the Risk of Hostile takeover of the
OpenStreetMap Foundation with 4 seats open. </div>

<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Yes there are important
communities in France, Germany, USA, etc with different
visions and strategies. And there are the corporate
partners with their own strategies.<span><span> You
should also re-read imagico blog.</span></span><span><span> Let's
not be be naive and simply look at the nationality
of candidates and view them as simple <span>local
craft mappers</span>. </span></span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Election vote is starting relatively soon and
meanwhile, I would like to see Candidates come and
discuss about this subject and other aspects they think
important to talk about.</div>

<p>It’s not that I didn’t read Roland’s post with the help of
machine translation, or that I didn’t read his writing last year
in English that I’m now seeing in a different light. I wasn’t
trying to downplay this risk of a takeover that everyone’s talking
about, though I don’t share the sense of panic and Roland’s
immediate fears have not borne out.</p>
<p>What I am saying is that board members have a responsibility to
be circumspect in their election-related communications and it was
fair for Brian to request clarification from Roland. If you are
asking me to speculate on why Roland’s post was “in Deutsch
außerhalb der automatische Übersetzung”, then a charitable reading
might be that he did not want to egg on the very people he
mentioned. But he did not only mention those individuals; he also
drew a distinction between Germans and others who are members of
this organization – not a very flattering one, as Christoph points
out. If there is no broader point to what he wrote, then so be it,
but I would like to hear that from Roland himself rather than
speculate further.<br>
