[gentoo-dev] Update from User Relations wrt User Representatives.

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 891 bytes --]

As of Friday 17th November, George Prowse, known to most as cokehabit,
has left the Gentoo User Relations project and his position as User
Representative. Regrettably, as things turned out, he did not fit the
role as well as many had hoped, and it was decided that it would be in
everyone's best interests to part ways. We would like to thank George
for his time and work as a user representative, and wish him luck in his
future endeavours.

On a related note, it was resolved at a meeting between User Relations and 
the User Representatives on December 2nd, 2006 to instate Alex Bokag aka 
djay-il as the eleventh and last User Representative. This motion passed 
unanimously and Alex accepted the position with immediate effect. 
We welcome Alex onboard and look forward to working closely with him over the next year.

On behalf of User Relations, 
Christel Dahlskjaer.

As I've stated in the forums [1], I don't think that picking somebody that was 
not elected for the chair is a good practice. If you have found that the way 
elections were conducted did not produce a good result, maybe you should at 
least change your project description [2]:

"Gentoo User Representatives (userreps) form part of Gentoo User Relations 
(userrel) and are elected each year by Gentoo users to represent them to the 
development community."

Not that I have something against djay-il, it's just that I don't like the way 
this whole situation is being handled.

I don't agree with you. The practicalities mean that since we are mid-term,
and this is only one post, and there is a candidate the existing team have
proposed, we should just let them get on with their job. Personally I think
that'd be a fairly good basis for policy.
