schestowitz__                <p>If an open-source project is popular enough that means a device supported by a given project should benefit from long-term support, and not suddenly stop working as a company folds or decides it’s profitable anymore. I believe that’s the case for PineTime smartwatch, especially since both the firmware and host device are open-source and supported by an active community.

schestowitz__Education and Childcare reform: CSC counter-proposal and GCC opinionMay 18 19:59
schestowitz__The Central Staff Committee (CSC) had submitted a last-chance counter-proposal to try to mitigate the effects of the reform on children in The Hague, Berlin and Vienna, as well as arguments in favour of this initiative. The President postponed the GCC meeting from the 29 April to the 4 May allegedly for his service “to take the time to study the arguments [we] now bring as well as the new counter-proposal/fallback position and itsMay 18 19:59
schestowitz__financial implication.”May 18 19:59
schestowitz__In the meeting, the President did not concretely address the substance of our latest proposals. Instead, we had the “privilege”, for the first time in the history of the General Consultative Committee (GCC), to be the spectators of a play in which the Chief of Staff, PD People, PD Corporate Policies and lower-ranking officials took turns to speak and read out their parts of a text prepared in advance. The performance lasted aboutMay 18 19:59

schestowitz__After that we could make some of our points but, given the circumstances, we could not expect the administration to make any statement that deviated from their pre-written script.May 18 19:59
schestowitz__The President closed the debate and invited us to submit our opinion in writing.May 18 19:59
schestowitz__You may also find a document, including both our counter-proposal and our opinion here.May 18 19:59
