IRC log of #maemo-meeting for Wednesday, 2014-03-12

Win7MacAnd an edit to 12) "Changes to any of the above rules must be approved by community referendum" will be dilated by an opportunity for the general assembly (regular members) to edit the Association Rules00:35
Win7Macso both, general assembly (regular members) and community via referndum can edit the Association Rules00:36
Win7Macremoving allowance for general assembly to alter the Association Rules is not easy, if possible at all00:39
DocScrutinizer05as long as eV rules don't conflict with MC rules, they may add or augment stuff00:42
DocScrutinizer05there just mustn't be any contradictional rules, like about number of council members00:43
DocScrutinizer05s/onal/ng/00:43
Win7Macok, then all is good00:44
chem|sthonestly, at some point there is no need to align anything anymore, once aligned the association rules are in place and the rest will be void00:46
DocScrutinizer05eV can add a requirement to wear funny hat, but the rules mustn't exclude otherwise eligible community members, or otherwise redefine council or electorate, or the rights and powers they have00:46
chem|strights and powers is something completely different, counil has as much power as given by the eV, everything else I would not consider power00:47
DocScrutinizer05that's the problem00:48
chem|stthere is no problem00:48
DocScrutinizer05you can't redefine council00:48
Win7Macit isn't00:48
chem|stI cannot, yes.00:48
chem|stand I wont00:48
chem|stwhat are you holding on to?00:49
chem|stthere is only one thing that cannot be redefined, it is the voice of the passive garage account holders00:50
DocScrutinizer05neither HiFo nor eV is defining what's the powers of council. MC rules do00:50
chem|stok then council has no power?!00:51
Win7Macwell, the bylaws of the ev defines that00:51
DocScrutinizer05no they don't00:51
DocScrutinizer05any bylaws are irrelevant for MC00:52
chem|stwhat is the matter with you00:52
Win7Mac...and the Association Rules00:52
chem|stwhat you refer to as council is not a council of the eV but the community only00:53
DocScrutinizer05your statement about "there's no council activity outside of the HiFo/eV" is outright incorrect. MC >> HiFo00:53
chem|stwe had that, that is what we DON'T want!00:53
Win7Macand that can be changed if need be, but for now, it'll be the same00:53
DocScrutinizer05then you're out of luck00:53
chem|stso you mean that council is the highes jurisdiction?00:54
DocScrutinizer05yes, definitely00:54
chem|stit is not00:54
DocScrutinizer05says who?00:54
Win7Macin ANY eV thats the general assemly, no way around that00:54
chem|stand that is not me saying that is US Law German Law and most probably every other western countries00:54
DocScrutinizer05mhm, do you see any law MC is supposed to follow?00:55
Win7MaceV bylaws and Association Rules00:55
chem|stcouncil by its means has no responsibilities or liabilities and no legal body and cannot be what you like it to be00:55
DocScrutinizer05MC is not bound to any eV bylaws you invented00:56
chem|stit is not eV bylaws I invented... how do you want to run a company with this lack of expertise?00:56
Win7Macchem|st, no, it is a body with responsibilities00:56
DocScrutinizer05chem|st: well, good luck with your hostile takeover of community then00:56
chem|stresponsibilities to the one holding the legal responsibilities00:57
chem|stwhat hostile takeover?00:57
chem|stwtf are you talking about00:57
chem|stwhat are you trying to achieve?00:58
chem|stforming an eV around an existing community is hostile takeover?01:00
DocScrutinizer05you can form 100 eV around anything you want01:01
chem|stwe to extraordinary care to fit as good as it gets, dumped any idea of asking outsiders for being founders01:01
chem|stso what you are actually telling is that you will block any move torwards evolving the community into a legal body itself01:02
chem|st?01:02
DocScrutinizer05there's a council in this community called the maemo council. It is considered highest authority regarding all organizational stuff. You won't succeed redefining that according to what you think it should be01:02
DocScrutinizer05good night01:04
Win7Macwhere is it written that today, the council is the highest authority?01:05
chem|stah ok so we just need to kill garage userDB then...or wait for it to happen, no members - no council...01:05
chem|stWin7Mac: it does not matter, having authority over organizational stuff is currently not our concern...01:06
DocScrutinizer05you tried to kill userDB, you failed01:08
DocScrutinizer05techstaff won't allow01:08
DocScrutinizer05council won't allow01:08
chem|stwooohooo then wait for it to fail...01:09
DocScrutinizer05maemo isn't your private sandbox01:09
chem|stand stop trolling01:09
chem|stand the fsck stop getting personal01:09
Win7MacDocScrutinizer05, are you seriously saying that HFC and MCC are not the same, despite last referendum?01:10
Win7Macyou feel as MCC only, but not HFC?01:10
chem|stand vote by both councils01:10
chem|styou cannot have one without the other atm01:11
chem|stor be member of01:11
DocScrutinizer05you both seem thoroughly confused and upset01:15
chem|stDocScrutinizer05: just to remind you, "MCC agrees to align all future changes to be in line with HFC's procedures of change so that the Bylaws are adhered to."01:16
DocScrutinizer05so what?01:16
Win7Macselective awareness?01:16
DocScrutinizer05that is a road with two directions to go. You can't even change bylaws now without a referendum01:16
chainsawbikeDocScrutinizer05, what is the core problem you have with the proposed e.V arrangement/transition and what do you propose to fix it?01:17
chem|styes, HFC procedures change, MCC needs to align, MCC rules change HFC has to align...01:17
chem|stso we change the procedures and MCC needs to align01:17
DocScrutinizer05MCC does NOT need to align01:17
DocScrutinizer05MCC CANNOT allign01:18
Win7Macguys, we have 1 council01:18
Win7Macthey been unified01:18
Win7Macso what does not help here01:18
Win7MacHiFo will dissolve and election rules for council will be 100% adopted + general assembly can change association rules too01:20
DocScrutinizer05and you suggesting >>MCC needs to align<< is what I call a parole for a hostile takeover01:20
chem|stnvm doc wont answer questions without pointing out that nothing can be changed, despite the fact that if all and everything gets transfered to any legal body it is only bound to what is set in the transfer agreement01:21
chem|stDocScrutinizer05: that is the wording of the resolution you voted on!01:21
DocScrutinizer05your approach of denying MCC as highest instance in maemo community is exactly why I got agrues with HiFo01:22
chem|stand you will get that with the eV too, do you have authority issues?01:22
Win7Macagain, where is it written that today, the council is the highest authority?01:23
DocScrutinizer05do you have power phantasy issues?01:23
chem|stDocScrutinizer05: you are getting personal again01:23
DocScrutinizer05Win7Mac: where's written anything else, during last 5 years?01:23
Win7Macnever was meant like that, Nokia been the boss01:24
DocScrutinizer05chem|st: a sin you're absolutely innocent of01:24
DocScrutinizer05like a 6 y o boy01:24
DocScrutinizer05Win7Mac: BZZZ FALSE. Nokia never been the boss of community or council01:24
Win7Macah, whatever... :(01:25
chem|stthat is not actually true, the one giving authority is the one who may take it again01:25
DocScrutinizer05authority of council been given by community01:27
DocScrutinizer05and of course only community can take that again, NOT HiFo, NOT any eV of your liking, with you as boss for next 5 years01:27
chem|stauthority of what?01:27
chem|styou are misunderstanding the position of a director01:28
DocScrutinizer05the one you talked about01:28
DocScrutinizer05as well as any arbitrary other authority01:28
chem|stauthority over property, no that was given by nokia not by community01:28
chem|stin case of talk, by HiFo01:28
DocScrutinizer05property, go ahead01:29
Win7Macguys, stop it please01:29
DocScrutinizer05council, no way01:29
chainsawbikeDocScrutinizer05, Win7Mac, chem|st, as an observer i highly recommend everyone take a break and gather evidence to support their assertions - i doubt you will resolve this by continuing arguing like this without stating solid evidence to back yourself up01:29
chem|stwhat, I am asking of what authority he is talking01:29
Win7MacLOOK, it's a complete new start. We are a bunch of guys that agree to continue what has been established.01:29
Win7Macregulations regarding council are 100% adopted01:30
DocScrutinizer05[2014-03-11 23:54:10] <chem|st> so you mean that council is the highes jurisdiction?01:30
DocScrutinizer05[2014-03-11 23:54:19] <DocScrutinizer05> yes, definitely01:30
chem|stauthority over starting an election of itself, a referendum of its own rules01:30
chem|stwe do not take that away as that is given by the community, ok01:30
chem|stDocScrutinizer05: again by what authority?01:31
chem|stcommunity? that is the legal authority to represent someone...01:32
DocScrutinizer05In addition to being committed community members (and all that entails), some of the specific responsibilities of the council include:01:33
DocScrutinizer05Facilitation: making sure that one portion of the community knows what is going on in another01:33
DocScrutinizer05**Representing the community with regards to the paid maemo.org contributors**01:33
DocScrutinizer05**Hiring of maemo.org staff**01:33
DocScrutinizer05Pushing to expand the community through organic growth01:33
DocScrutinizer05****Being able to represent the community to Nokia, especially when *dealing* *with* *sensitive* *information*; for example, attendance at N900 launch as community reps.01:33
DocScrutinizer05Backup mentors for the Google Summer of Code participation.01:33
DocScrutinizer05*SOME OF*01:33
chem|stresponsibilities...01:33
Win7Macby founding a new thing we're not really bound to what been there, but we make sure the parts about council are 100% adopted.01:33
Win7MacOK???!!!01:33
DocScrutinizer05Win7Mac: you won't convince chem|st01:34
chem|stWin7Mac: forget it... he does not want to get it01:34
chem|stDocScrutinizer05: convince me about what01:34
DocScrutinizer05one of the powers of council re HiFo been the red button that causes elections of both bodies01:34
DocScrutinizer05which pretty much shows relation between council and HiFo01:35
chem|styou can cast elections of HiFo sure01:35
chem|stif you read the bylaws you may know how that works in an eV01:36
Win7Maceither way, general assembly will be highest jurisdiction in any e.V., no way around that01:36
DocScrutinizer05anyway have fun with your coup d'etat, I bet on you failing in the end01:36
DocScrutinizer05community won't appreciate that01:36
*** lbt has quit IRC01:36
Win7Macno need for red button any more01:36
Win7Maceach body, community assembly AND general assembly can edit the association regulations01:37

chem|sto/01:41
Win7Macas long as we can forward with >DocScrutinizer05: "as long as eV rules don't conflict with MC rules, they may add or augment stuff"01:44
DocScrutinizer05I'm fed up with this kindergarden! I told you you can't redefine MC. and for MC to be genuine part of any new entity it needs ALL rules negotiated between HiFo and any such new entity to get copied 100% verbatim (or you start a referendum to change MC rules). You constantly accusing me of being to stupid to see how what you plan to do is much better than what I stated is mandatory is pissing me off. Don't approach me again about01:44
DocScrutinizer05that shit!01:44
Win7Mac...01:45
Win7MacWe're NOT redefining MC!01:47
*** Win7Mac2 has joined #maemo-meeting01:48
DocScrutinizer05let's see what community thinks about that, when you tell them HiFo>>council and Nokia is boss of community (and implying that HiFo inherited that power from Nokia)01:50
*** Win7Mac has quit IRC01:51
*** M4rtinK has quit IRC02:00
DocScrutinizer05MC= community's elected proxy; HiFo == community's cashier;  community >> council >> HiFo.  THAT been last elections' mantra, particularly (but not only) mine. You trying to bend and tweak that now so it matches your desires and needs is not a particularly honest thing02:00
DocScrutinizer05and I bet community won't appreciate that02:01
DocScrutinizer05and I promise you that, when you try to transfer assets from HiFo which been under control of council to any eV which isn't, you get into *big* trouble, legally02:04
Win7Mac2please tell me more about my desires02:04
DocScrutinizer05umm, "typo"02:36
DocScrutinizer05I'm fed up with this kindergarden! I told you you can't redefine MC. and for MC to be genuine part of any new entity it needs ALL rules negotiated between HiFo and MC to get copied 100% verbatim to any such new entity (or you start a referendum to change MC rules).

DocScrutinizer05about that shit!02:37
*** xes has quit IRC02:39
Win7Mac2you know in a german e.V. there *has* to be a general assembly. Where do you put that in your model?02:39
Win7Mac2without an answer to that, your critics are worth nothing02:49
*** Taytay has joined #maemo-meeting02:50

DocScrutinizer05note please that I *have no model*, it's your baby02:52
DocScrutinizer05just accusing me to not enable your project doesn't help you either02:52
Win7Mac2ah, HiFo business i guess02:52
DocScrutinizer05gues whatever you like, I'm not involved in that HiFo / e.V. thing02:53
DocScrutinizer05going to beat dady's leg because he can't buy you a unicorn?02:54
Win7Mac2well, I was hoping for pink pony, tbh02:55
Win7Mac2that matches your desires and needs you know?02:56
Win7Mac2*my02:56
DocScrutinizer05try harder, maybe it comes true. But don't hope for help from my side, except *maybe* showing you the pitfalls02:56

DocScrutinizer05by design and history and definition HiFo been meant to execute council's decisions as long as they are not illegal or outright rogue. council has red button to stop HiFo from going crazy with those assets, and to stop council from abusing that option, it's been designed to cause election of *both* bodies. The intention however is pretty obvious. Either you find an equal or better way to ensure control of council (community's03:07
DocScrutinizer05proxy) over what HiFo resp your e.V. does, or you inevitably run into severe trouble with those who donated to a HiFo that been supposed to do what community elected council decided03:07
DocScrutinizer05council never can agree on anything that's not ensuring that aspect, as well as others agreed upon between council and HiFo03:09
Win7Mac2bylaws § 7 (Board of directors) (5): The Board of Directors executes the Council's and General Assembly's rulings.03:11
Win7Mac2Isn't that enough?03:11
Win7Mac2Did you even dare to read?03:12
Win7Mac2*care03:13
DocScrutinizer05that sounds like a start03:13
Win7Mac2What more are we supposed to put in words there, dickhead?03:13
DocScrutinizer05dunno, a**hle03:13
DocScrutinizer05yackfoo!03:14

DocScrutinizer05a real bless to deal with that HiFo03:24
DocScrutinizer05always a mere joy to help. God gracious!03:24
DocScrutinizer05anyway, good luck! I'm not inclined to gibe *any* further support03:25
DocScrutinizer05give, even03:25
*** DocScrutinizer05 has left #maemo-meeting03:25
*** Win7Mac has joined #maemo-meeting03:56
Win7Macany support from your side is yet to be seen, let alone "further". so far, your contributions been roadblocks and I'm not convinced your duty as councilor is to sit and wait if a solution that suits your idea of what the e.V. should be like comes around.03:56
