Change of treasurer for Manjaro community funds
forum.manjaro.org
Hi everyone. The Manjaro community donations are currently held by OpenCollective and CommunityBridge with me acting as treasurer since the switch away from Phil's personal bank account as the target for donations (and that in turn due to the company announcement). There is a written expense policyPlease note the Collective name on invoices. If the vendor requires a billing address, you can put your address or the address of any core contributor of the collective. Expenses will be covered ...

TL;DR jonathon (treasurer) was removed from the OpenCollective after they had a big argument with philm (project lead) over whether or not to authorize the purchase of a $2,000 laptop. After that jonathon posted his grievances on the Manjaro forum, to which philm responded by delisting the thread and removing jonathan as moderator of the forum.

    Well, that really shows the integrity of a project lead, if they

    1. don’t follow an agreed upon policy and
    2. react to resistance of their misbehaviour by throwing the person out who are literally just doing their job.

    Sure, it would be good to get the other perspective, but unless everything in this post is completely made up, I can’t imagine this being reasonable behaviour.
