Good morning, Jeff (and everybody),
Your email from last night is rich in arguments and claims, too many to dis=
cuss in one sitting. However, you mention events and facts I would like to=
understand comprehensively. Therefore, would you please point me/all of u=
s to the links where decisions you mentioned were recorded at the time and =
(hopefully) communicated to the general OpenAFS community? With Your Big B=
irthday coming this weekend (congratulations and best wishes, Jeff!), I am =
thinking you could either reply with the links to records or ask somebody e=
lse to collect them for you so that you can more easily link them? Delegat=
ion of the task is no issue for me, so getting these links to records withi=
n the week should be feasible. But should be the one sending them, as you =
argued that you are the only remaining Gatekeeper, you were present, and yo=
u have seen the sources, and as it is important to me to get a complete and=
correct set of documents onto my desk. Blame it on my having five advance=
d degrees: once a scholar, always go back to the sources :-) Thank you ver=
y much.
Specifically, I am hoping you will direct me/us to the direct links for the=
following:
1. The records for the Council of Elders having legally become "an uninc=
orporated Association on 26 October 2000." This should include the state o=
f the Association's creation, and where and when those documents were filed=
, plus when and accepted by which authorities.
2. All records documenting for and to the OpenAFS community the "documen=
t that served as the Charter for OpenAFS", no additional reference offered =
in your email, and from which you were quoting in your reply.
3. All records documenting for and to the OpenAFS community anything per=
taining to "January 26th 2006 when the Council of Elders voted to reorganiz=
e itself."
4. All records documenting for and to the OpenAFS community anything per=
taining to Ben Kaduk "a Guardian appointed by the Gatekeepers before Daria'=
s resignation." This should include definition of "Guardian's" role (privi=
leges and responsibilities), who participated in making the appointment, an=
d who (if any) voted against it.
5. All records documenting for and to the OpenAFS community anything per=
taining your petition to step down as an Elder (as you mentioned) to the Co=
uncil of Elders, and the Council having accepted your and/or anybody else's=
resignation as Elder, as applicable. Plus when and how the Council of Eld=
ers reported this to the Gatekeepers, and when the Gatekeepers accepted you=
r resignation as Elder; this should list the names of the Gatekeepers who v=
oted plus their voting decisions, to record 2/3 majority decision among the=
Gatekeepers.
6. All records documenting for and to the OpenAFS community anything per=
taining Daria's petition to the Gatekeepers to step down as a Gatekeeper (a=
nd Elder, if applicable); this should list the names of the Gatekeepers who=
voted plus their voting decisions, to record 2/3 majority decision among t=
he Gatekeepers.
7. A census which pieces of OpenAFS code, including 1.6 and 1.8 and Main=
branches, currently reside where, and who owns the infrastructure. This s=
hould include contact information for a contact person and/or administrator=
at MIT and other organizations if applicable. What are the terms of the a=
greement between OpenAFS and the host(s)? When and where was that publishe=
d for the OpenAFS community?
8. All records documenting the role (privileges and responsibilities) of=
individuals who have hosted code and/or administered it. This should incl=
ude where decision authority and/or action requests were defined to be loca=
ted. What are the terms of the agreement between OpenAFS and the administr=
ators? When and where was that published for the OpenAFS community?
9. All records documenting for and to the OpenAFS community anything per=
taining to the funds contributed to the Council of Elders in 2003 by three =
institutions. Is there anything beyond the press release you mentioned in =
your reply? Who was on the Council at that time? Who administered those f=
unds and what happened to them?
10. All records for any communication with any government agencies, inclu=
ding but not limited to the State of the Unincorporated Association" of 200=
0, and on the Federal level, the IRS?
Beyond these items to which you explicitly or implicitly referred in yester=
day's reply, I would like for you to point me/us to:
* All records documenting for and to the OpenAFS community any informat=
ion/resolutions/official filings etc about other organizations that were an=
d/or are part of and/or related to OpenAFS. One example I know of is the K=
erberos and OpenAFS BPW Committee. Are there others? Alternatively, pleas=
e jot down contact info for a representative of said organization(s) and/or=
committee(s) authorized to answer this; I will be happy to approach them d=
irectly and save you the work.
I want to do right by the OpenAFS community and the legacy of the OpenAFS t=
echnology. To that end, this information is critical, and I venture a gues=
s that others may want to do some reading-up as well. Since you are the onl=
y active Gatekeeper, you appear to be the obvious person to be able to help=
me out. Should anything else occur to me at a later time, I will email ag=
ain. Thank you in advance, Jeff.
And again: Happy Birthday and a wonderful celebration weekend.
Best,
Margarete
