[Osmf-talk] Hiring help for OSMF administrative tasks

[Peter Barth]

Hi,

Frederik, you may possibly already know my opinion and I'd like
to state it publicly.

I have been and I am still a big oponent to paying staff. We're a
community project, so either put your time in for free or step
down and let others do the work. Let us try to not make the same
mistakes as WMF did.

Anyway, what really upsets me when reading your mail: Every member
talked about transparency in their manifestos, everyone had one or the
other plan. And indeed, there had been *one* summary of a board
meeting written by Paul, but that's been all. There had been another
article stating how cool the f2f meeting was and how well everyone
played with the others. But honestly, I'm not interessted in that but
in the results, in your work,.. just by accident someone discovered
there will not be a SOTM this year, why isn't that published? I had
to wait several weeks to learn about your plans of hiring staff. For
what? You don't even know, you're asking us.

I'm really disapointed. Not by you (Frederik) but by you, the
OSMF-board. Nothing changed, it just got worse.

Regards,
Peda
