Unless of course you talk about those 2 dozen members of GA, which are the real elite and have real power even over board.

And when you think the bylaws and legal laws enforce proper behavior of board *and* GA, then you're probably terribly mistaken. Pretty please prove me wrong, since that's *exactly* what I push for: bylaws that enforce e.V. to act in best interest of community. What is best interest of community? Simple: what majority of garage.maemo.org members want - unless it's illegal or simply cannot get done (pink ponies, force Jolla to build a maemo device).
