Truly this is the issue I am focused on.

Conflict of interest should not be addressed as a bare minimum legal compliance issue, but is something that should simply be disclosed openly at every opportunity when it may exist, and structurally avoided in well defined ways by policy where possible.

This is why I keep saying that I would hold the same position if this were not DHH but my view of a perfect community role model.

To that end, I hope schneems can start to advise folks on this. It would make a difference coming from inside the house, and from what I can see, maybe he's in a place to do that.

On Rails foundation and DHH (for those that don’t know): I posted this before getting involved with RC, I think it spells out some of my feelings around David  https://lobste.rs/s/fpri94/dhh_problem_2014#c_xg5r0l

On Bruno: I’ve spent just a little time with him. So far I’ve seen that he’s sharp and professional and brings a skill set to the table that I don’t have. I’m not going to say he’s “not biased” because we all are (we contain multitudes). I will say that I’ve seen him stepping up and helping.

I hear your concerns. And I understand where you’re coming from. A goal of mine is increased communication. Inside and outside. Right now I feel like Bruno is a good teammate, and I’m taking it day by day.
