On the other hand, nor am I. My opinion is that it is up to the membership and elections committee who they invite to their meetings and who they collaborate with. Call them visitors. Visitors need not be Sugar Labs members. Visitors could be asked their opinion but their vote on motions could be avoided. I don't see why the committee needs more committee members, apart from Walter's concern that the committee at the moment consists only of the continuing oversight board members. <a href="http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/meetings/2017-09-01T19:10:08#i_2902795" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/meetings/2017-09-01T19:10:08#i_2902795</a> This perhaps is more a function of the level of interest overall; and losing Ignacio is an unfortunate sign of that.
