This approach smacks of preparation for political activism not
related
to
the distribution. I would expect people to leave in large numbers if
this
is approved. Most of your contributors and userbase do not support
radicalization and polarization by smaller groups in influential
positions. Abort, abort, abort.
This proposal may looks like a good idea, but as it
is written it is not.
What troubles me is: what defines Fedora interest?
First scenario: Let's say the government of the country where our main sponsors has
its headquarters decide to stop relationship with one or many other countries.
Council may say it is not in Fedora's interest to go there, while the event itself
have nothing wrong about it.
Second scenario: a contributor helps a movement that fights against its own government,
and decide to hold a boot/workshop/etc.
How do you define Fedora interest here?
Fedora should be own by its community with as much support as possible for local
initiatives. Adding a rules like this without open evaluation criterias gives a bad
signal.
Even if council is based on elected and nominated member to represents us, it doesn't
council member wont always be good and without any external influences.
