<p>Thank you Alexander, I must agree with your general idea.</p>
<p>Before starting to give lessons about transparency and
participation to independent organizations, we should start by
being exemplary. While being clear about the community's adhesion
to the message would indeed be a great start, I would go further
and request consultation. The board is IMO empowered to release
such statements unilaterally, but a call for participation is
weakened if we ourselves fail to allow participation in such a
high-profile case.<br>
</p>
<p>Consulting the community obviously delays reaction, but the level
of urgency doesn't prevent it in this case. Input from the
community would not only allow to validate that the message
reflects the community's position, but it would ensure optimal
communication of that position.<br>

sense.<br>

From the KDE e.V. we followed closely the discussions on
the last few<br>
days regarding this recent decision within the Free
Software<br>
Foundation's leadership.<br>
<br>
We have tried to sum up our thoughts in the following
announcement<br>
with the hope to foster collectively the Free Software
leadership we<br>
need.<br>

Looking forward to a more inclusive discussion that will
shape the<br>
Free Software movement of tomorrow.<br>

Aleix Pol with the KDE e.V. Board of Directors<br>
