Dear Maxi,<br>
<br>
excellently put, thanks for pointing this out. Indeed, rasdaman as
well accepts input from any side, and based solely on technical
merits. We have not had a single case of disagreement. My position
is more like that of a good contract: you agree it once, put it into
the drawer, and then ideally never need it again.<br>

<p dir="ltr">Dear all<br>
I'm writing this email because i want to clarify why I mentioned
of GRASS during last board meeting and what was the reason.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As a member of the GRASS PSC in the last decade I can
assure that GRASS has always been governed with the maximum of
openess and inclusiveness, as stated in the incubation
principles.</p>
<p dir="ltr">My mention of GRASS with respect to the "benevolent
dictatorship model" (term that i really don't like) was to say
that in my opinion the open governance depend on the project
management and not by a specific PSC rule.</p>
<p dir="ltr">GRASS did not had a PSC election after its
establishment but this did not prevent the access to new
developers or make its governance "dictatorial/oligarchy".
Matters have always been discussed in developer's list and
decisions have always been taken with consensus. I do not
remember single case where PSC override a decision.</p>
<p dir="ltr">From my understanding the same happens in the
RASDAMAN project with the difference that in case of a not
reached consensus instead of having a PSC they have a single
person with the responsability of deciding.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Best regards<br>
Maxi<br>
