Re: About candidate's affiliation

[Dave Neary <dneary free fr>]

Hi Quim,

My opinion is that
 - Affiliation primarily indicates some implication in and co-operation 
with free software of the employer. Mine has 0 interest in free 
software, and as such, I do not feel the need to identify them for the 
election.
 - Affiliation is only relevant to the board in the situation where 
there is a risk of having several candidates from your organisation. In 
this context, since I will be the only candidate for the board who is an 
employee of my current employer, I don't see any conflict.

In this context, you should feel free to decide whether or not you wish 
to declare an affiliation with interactors or not.

If my interpretation of affiliation is wrong, I'd appreciate the 
correction, so that I can update my candidature.

Cheers,
Dave.
