[seedig] Disgraceful situation at SEEDIG

[Sorina Teleanu]

Dear Narine, 

The Executive Committee suggested (not decided) that 'recent
developments and lessons learnt' are discussed at the upcoming planning
meeting. If it is too early to discuss lessons learnt, that is fine, we
could leave this part for later. But the idea was to host an open
discussion on what you call the 'current state of affairs'. Whatever
words used for this, the point is to discuss and address concerns. 

We continue to reject the allegations made by our former colleagues in
old and new emails in blogposts. Given the amount of work to handle, we
have so far chosen to focus our time and energy on this work, instead of
responding point by point to those allegations. But the online meeting
would be an opportunity to provide more details on the position of the
Executive Committee.

Have the community members formed a clear picture of the current state of affairs at SEEDIG in order to be able to take stock and make any conclusion? One acting Executive Committee member said, that hundreds of hours of volunteering work have been dedicated to the initiative, while the other former ExeCom member brought such claims in his letters, blog posts, etc. that are fairly enough to file a law suit.
