<html><head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"></head><body text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> I hereby assert that the Sugar Labs Oversight Board has become stagnant to the point of near-100% ineffectiveness. It no longer serves the intended purpose, and the quality of discourse at the SLOB meetings themselves has diminished to near-zero. Back in June/July of 2018, I created <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Goals/2018_Submissions">https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Goals/2018_Submissions</a> from the user submissions Sameer had collected into a spreadsheet, and shared them to the IAEP mailing list on July 8th. Not a single person responded, not even to say a simple "thanks". I would now like to point out the following bad behavior, and suggest that the current status quo for Sugar Labs oversight is actively detrimental to the health of the overall organization. 2018 SLOB meeting attendees by month: January: <span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; float: none;">walterbender, samsongoddy, CanoeBerry, sverma February: <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none; display: inline ! important; float: none;">walterbender, samsongoddy, CanoeBerry, sverma, llaske March: <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none; display: inline ! important; float: none;">walterbender, samsongoddy, Claudia, sverma, llaske April: <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: -webkit-standard; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration: none; display: inline ! important; float: none;">walterbender, samsongoddy, llaske May: walterbender (!!!)
