Recently we retired 3 developers, the devrel project was not involved as a group except for the lead, and apparently the developers did not know anyone was looking at complaints filed against them. I'd like Council (1) to explain its role in this, if any, (2) explain why it permits such actions in apparent violation of Gentoo's policy of openness, (3) and since there seems to be some confusion (on my part at least) how to interpret Council's role in any appeal IF (I don't really know) Council played a part in the disciplinary action, please amend Council's enabling document GLEP 39 to explain how Council handles appeals and whether or not Council can take or direct disciplinary action in light of this absolute requirement. Since this is a general mailing list and some of you might not know what I'm talking about, this is GLEP 39 and as such it helps define Gentoo policy and procedure. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0039.html > Keep in mind that every GLEP *re*submission to the council for review > must first be sent to the gentoo-dev mailing list 7 days (minimum) > before being submitted as an agenda item which itself occurs 7 days > before the meeting.
