Mr Gianelloni is right: if other parties cannot have confidential discussions with Gentoo, it will damage the distribution. As such, it is imo incumbent upon council members to keep such matters (whatever they might be) private.
He has already stipulated that "all decisions we made were 100% public" and "We do have to have all of our decisions made public, obviously." That's transparent enough for me at least. I don't want to be privy to every discussion, and I certainly don't want to know about say aspects of other people's private lives which might affect their work, or even that company X is having confidential talks with gentoo, which might come to nothing. I just want to enjoy the software and the community, and these frankly paranoid ramblings make the dev list much less fun. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
