One of the things I read through maybe into it was that people were
discussing different views of voting.

I would have thought that the contributors as in not me but other people
who have significantly contributed to the project should vote but aside
from that other people shouldn't.

My thoughts are based on the fact that commitment is showing in
contribution.  However grey areas such as myself is the annoying
thing :(

It's quite interesting from someone that is not involved in the
discussions to see how it turns out.

*offtopic*

Is there a chance of having different members of the board speaking
publicly?  What I mean by this is having them with all their free
time /sarcasm spend a few moments in putting a path in words of where
fedora is heading?

I quite like reading articles from leading people in the open source
community where they talk about whats up and coming and how they are
dealing with it.

It seems like several *points* can be made. 1. Marketing their distro.
2. Advising the community what someones view is on future changes.

Overall I liked it as well but by the end of the article it left me with
a huge number of questions.
