His reasoning was that it would give them an advantage. And I keep 
asking which advantage? For some unknown reason you aren't answering my 
question either...

You want to keep it private, fine. You know why I want it to be public? 
To see the actions of the board. And maybe give an advice if I can.

Which isn't quite right either. You know why? Because we'll feel quilt 
and will make a generous donation as compensation. Why not being 
reasonable and either pay a commercial company or compensate them for 
their work in a reasonable manner? That's what I suggested back than as 
well... I'll be glad to facilitate a dedicated server at a 
north-american hosting company and even take responsibility for it, 
how's that? 1K per year should be sufficient for that purpose.

Ahhhh :-)

Boy, I clocked more than 400 hours just in November (which wasn't a 
particular busy month), got myself a family and a few kids too. Of 
course it's my life and a different mentality, but hell no, I'm not 
impressed. I'm not complaining either, but participating - not agreeing 
with some handling of the board or foundation doesn't equals complaints! 
See, there is a difference...

I'm investing my time where I believe it matters most to me, not 
defending my actions in any way. I'll do something where I care and if I 
can. Does that mean I have to accept and agree with all your decisions? 
Suggesting to provide a different performance or requesting to keep 
things in the open should give you something to think about (at best). 
And apparently I'm not alone.
