So people have asked me to tell why I resigned fromt he OE board. There were a number of reasons and I shall detail the main two.
First reason is that certain destructive elements on OE seem to deem it OK to send abusive and insulting emails to board members of OE if they don’t get their own way. It’s been about a year now of this element causing chaos in OE. Unfortuneately as some members seem to have rallied around him as an anti Koen champion then nothing gets done about this destructive behaviour. The end came from me when this element called Koen “Mr Crapper” in a board email.
Second reason I shall start with the TSC email from Richard
http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-devel/2011-January/029372.html
Well for the members of the eV the board is in a similar state is dissarray.
eV members have no doubt noticed that board emails go unanswered and there is very little comment from any board member not Philip.
I had chosen to killfile one member of OE because his posts on oe-devel were just turning into insults. I had totally forgotten this would block board@ emails as well. When Koen realised what I had done he announced it on public list which illicited this respond from another board member.
“Interesting. While this is a viable way of looking at things for john doe, I’m afraid this attitude does not mix with being
an OpenEmbedded board member.”
and from a non board member.
“If it’s true that one of the board members has been killfiling mail from
a member of the e.V. then I think they need to consider their position
carefully. Is there any evidence that this did indeed happen?”
Quotes that are actually correct, but when coming from a board member who has not answered urgent eV board issue emails for well over a year, well I guess thats the definition of irony.
Anyway I decided that the second quote was probably correct and I re-considered my position.
The OE community at large is still quite healthy so I am hoping like the TSC healing, eV healing can happen and create the sort of happy community we all want.
To get things straight:
I have never used the term “Mr Crapper” in a board email and none of the board emails have been insulting.
And by stating that nothing is done you are actually something about your own (in)competence.

Hmm, a direct quote from your own email
“And fwiw: i don’t care at all that I am not invited for this TSC, but
I will keep speaking up if it is suggested that other people did not
show interest (as was done by Mr. Crapper).”
As you appear to have somehow got the Support of some members of OE to continue this behaviour I have no interest in interacting with OE anymore.
Please stop adding to your abuse of OE by lying in future.

The email you are quoting was not sent to the board, but was sent to you personally.
Please do not misrepresent things.
BTW: if one regularly refers to the work of others as crap and/or if one is talking crap, it is not too unlikely that at some point someone comes up with a nick relating to that.
