Re: KDE Dot News: We've Moved.

It's possible that there has been some trouble in collecting dues from everyone which could be hampering the financial side of it. I know that Trolltech and SuSE were extremely supportive at the formation, but there has been virtually no traffic on that mail list for a long time now. I don't know what to do, I know Dre works his ass off on this stuff, but sometimes it's like herding cats.

I think the reality is that none of the big companies like HP, IBM and Compaq really care about the details. The lady that represented HP to the League is also the one that made the deal to bundle Gnome on the HP workstations (go figure).

I might be talking more than I should, but I've found it frustrating.

I think that many people find this frustrating and as a president of theKompany, who gained so much admiration (and rightfully so) among the KDE community you have all the rights to say it.

I have read the bylaws at www.kdeleague.org. It says something about regular meetings, special meetings...
Was there any meeting after the foundation? What did members discuss there? There should be an annual meeting... Who is the Chairperson of the Board of Directors? I mean, there is so much things written in the Bylaws, that I never read of anywhere else(dot.kde.org or linuxtoday.com or similar linux or kde related news). I think it's worse to have an organization that does nothing, than to have no organization at all.

Not being on the executive committe, I don't really want to speak out of turn. I think there were a couple of changes from the initial meeting but Dre has been acting as treasurer and taking care of all the business matters. It's probably more appropriate for him to talk about it. I think it would make a good dot story myself.
