RequestedDeletion
I think you have been making unfounded claims that cannot be substantiated, & that approach is what triggered responses from both the chairman and the treasurer, so that others (including yourself) are made very clear about the status of your claims, ie that they are bogus.
The orginal notice said
"Shad, who currently hosts the farm, has been offered free rack space for
his equipment at a data center."
What does it matter where the data center is or who ultimately owns it, there is certainly no need for you to jump to the conclusion that their is a conspiracy going on.
As I understand it, having read elsewhere about Shad's involvement in other technical matters etc, Shad is involved with ClearOS, what's wrong with that, I have involvement in many other things than just sme server too, like all of us I assume. It does not make me a traitor to the sme server cause.
In my opinion, you are exhibiting paranoid tendencies, & this is something that long term readers of these forums will have seen before.
You were somewhat antagonistic many years ago when the original contribs.org site was setup & there was some discontent about the management style of the site "owner".
I'm sure you recall this.
IIRC you were involved with maintaining & developing the web site "system" behind the scenes.
Eventually if I recall correctly, you left the organisation after purportedly taking data that you were not really authorised to take, for the reasons of setting up your own independent site.
The response, IIRC, was that there was no agreement signed or made that said you could not take it, so you felt you did no wrong. Others disagreed.
Perhaps you saw it as data duplication, but others saw it quite differently & there was a big parting of ways between people.
So this theme of wanting access to the "data" is something that is striking a nerve in your own persona.
In all organisations, there needs to be a sense of comradeship, co-operation, trust & a desire for all parties involved to work together to achieve the same goal.
Typically a "middle of the road" conservative approach is often adopted by boards or management, to cater for all interested parties different attitudes or desires etc
I am not privy to information about your recent involvement in the "board", but clearly your opinions or management style was not a middle of the road approach & you resigned due to friction between yourself & others.
You cannot just make wild claims that in effect suggest that a "conspiracy" or similar is going on, & then publicy start claiming that. You only undo your own credibility.
Perhaps you are a person who is not a good team player & cannot be involved in the joint decision making processes where the decision made does not always agree with your approach.
Perhaps you function better as a "one man band".
Hsing, I have followed your involvement with sme server over many many years, I've been here since year 2000 & v3.0, & read virtually every word that has ever been published, & I believe I have a very good memory.
You clearly have something to contribute, & have some good technical skills etc, but I do feel you have to drop this attitude that others are doing things secretively & for suspicious reasons that have other hidden motives, & that sort of "style of reasoning". The community values your input, but you must temper your approach to fit in with the norm & stop attacking people for unjustifiable reasons.
In modern day popular language usage, Hsing please drop the "attitude".
I do not mean to offend you personally, but I do mean to encourage you positively in your endeavours, & in your involvement with the Koozali SME server community.
1. In my book asking questions does not match the 'rumor mill' in your book.
2. Apparently this topic has struck a nerve somewhere for both the Koozali chairman and the treasurer felt they needed to respond and back each other up.
3. I could not care less about Shad's personal stuff. I was asking about the data and the availability of it to the community
4. The 'we talked about possibly merging SME and ClearOS'. Is this 'we' the Koozali board or who? The attempt to try this by itself was not discussed with the community at all. Who was 'we' at the time and with what mandate and from who?
5. The arrangement, on moving contribs.org and contents, between Shad and the Clear Center is *NOT* his to make. The way you step away from this and point your finger at Shad is *exactly* why I am not on board. The Boards should have protected the contribs.org assets to the fullest!. Not even an attempt has been made/registered to secure this.
6. An individual's assurance (Shad never told the community he assures this) whilst there is a board that needs to take full responsibility are 2 different worlds. A non argument and complete lack of responsibility!
7. It is the responsibility of the Koozali board to provide assurances, not individuals, let alone the board pointing to individuals.
8. Clear Center *IS* hosting contribs.org ( http://myip.ms/info/whois/209.90.117.203 ) and the complete contribs.org environment. Please provide prove of me being wrong instead of just saying 'no'.
9. Shad's server farm is his property. Why do you not acknowledge that contribs.org is not under the control of the koozali board, and that it is hosted at Clear Center and that all considerations to host it there are not public?
10. You should take a more professional community minded attitude, instead of being stung by a bee every time.

ps. Banning me from the board list is a proper thing to do since I resigned. But posting messages about me without me being able to respond is childish.
ps. 2. Where is the progress? I can read that a first conf call is being planned for the end of June 2013? and that this call is being used to get to know Google products?
