 I think they are N of M federation where they can vote in and out new members.  4 of 7 i think.  Good to remove conflicts of interest.  They need a bit more technical expertise in project selection too, IMHO.

 If you want be investor be the investor! If you want to handle open source donations and grants then do this instead! Why sitting with one ass on two chairs?!

 Ok, well I dont know anything about this.  I should research more.  All I am saying is that when a developer says "im burnt out", it sounds "meh", that's like code speak for "i got shot" or "I got raped".  What it looks like to me is that he's hurting and being kicked when he's down.  Not saying he made no mistakes.  Im just offering a perspective.

 Ah right.  Yes.  Conflict of interest is a problem.  They need to select a good 9 board of directors, without conflicts of interest.
