Well, at least one of the "they" is me--I call it trolling and stirring the pot, because that's what it is.
That would be too easy to dismiss the fact that user numbers, activity and contributions in general are declining in a very rapid way. I only can relay what I see and notice and speak up. The way others would LIKE to dismiss this 'issue' is up to them.
You are contributing nothing, you are asking nothing, you're just lobbing verbal smoke bombs. It's sad, really. You've contributed greatly to the project in the past (despite your recent demand to the board that everything you've contributed be erased). I'm quite confident you could continue to do so, if you were so inclined.
GDPR is in play since 2016, The Koozali Foundation Inc. MUST comply at a non compliance penelty of up to 20 Millions EURO. The treasurer was SOOOOO sure about his comments.....
I believe The Koozali Foundation Inc. is ignoring GDPR, not compliant, not ready and in complete violation. A US based organization is required to comply in a timely matter and coorporate with any request regarding GDPR. I guess GDPR never made a board meeting. Ah, yes! the president had a friend in Canada that was all of a sudden an expert on European law and GDPR....
I issued my claim a while back in a direct message to the president of The Koozali Foundation Inc., I guess it also did not make a board meeting.
I would love to continue what I have been doing since 2003, just not with the current president, and that is no surprise. I'm very frank about this and it is my right to say so or speak up. e.g. the wiki and bugzilla would have been updated better then it currently is, or better yet, currently there is a total lack of.
But you'd rather sit on the outside and throw rocks, and I think a lot of us are sick of it.
Nope, I would rather contribute and get things done. I believe I vouched for that and actively said that I would like the opportunity to re-structre SME Server. I believe I was the only one, for the "they" keep on sleeping.
Community manager - NO SINGLE ACTION in 2 years, I would ditch him in a blink of an eye. Personal friend of the 'president' and that is the ONLY reason he is occupying a seat on the board. Can't speak nor write proper English.
Treasurer - does not want to be on the board, but there is no other American citizen willing to be on the board. Also no proper financial reports for the last 2 years.
Main developer - does not want to be on the board, but him being on the board simply fullfills the required numbers of board members for a US non profit. Kudos for him doing that.
President - Never understood him, never wil. He was elected on a temp basis, but his study was over and apparently had nother better to do after his study and sat tight for the title. Treats all SME Server assets and operations as his own, and acts like a dictator in my view. Can't speak or write proper English. Does not even know the name of the organisation and keeps calling it Koozali SME Server Inc.. That does not exist.
Hence the decline in user numbers, contributors and activity.
When in the position, I immediately would kill the whole Koozali branding that actually never happened, and start over with a non profit in the EU with a new team, including current members that would welcome that required change.
Or "They" can watch and see it all goes down the drain. I call that selfish, leave it to others that do want to make progression. It is also the reason why we lost many others as active members like Stefano.
The whole AD4 stuff "It must be in SME Sever 10", complete crap. Get SME Server out based on CentOS 7 and get in line and current first. Oh, the ever lasting card of "lack of resources" comes in to play. Well SME Server would not have a lack of resources when there was a vision and a plan years ago. And now "They" blame e.g. me, and everybody else.
O and by the way, it was me who strongly suggested that DanB35 would be asked to become a memebr of the board for his competence and long standing support and knwledge of SME Server. And I am still glad he accepted.
