Dear Maria,
Thanks for the answers, and yes keep your time to recover from the ASIAN
conference.

I'm a bit surprised you collected opinions talking with the community since
I never heard this topic discussed at FOSS4G ASIA and nobody approached me
too (which I understand is irrelevant anyway :-D ).

While it's great to improve the community with new processes for the future
I think we cannot leave this situation under silence.

There is always an answer, if CoC doesn't have an answer (what is it for
then?) still an ethical position should be taken officially by the board in
my view....

Almost an year passed since the case happened... Time to act ;-)

As always, this is my 0.01 SLR
