Encouragement of ideas such as project updates, at least some support and/or contributions to those who work on other Gentoo-based distros, taking their ideas and contributions into the tree, etc, etc. One possible idea would be to encourage people to use one channel for primary communications, currently, many people make decisions (in private?) on IRC, then "forget" to tell everyone else about the decision... If we were all encouraged to make decisions on relevant email aliases, on the right mailing list, etc, etc, there would be less people missing out. The -project, -dev-announce and -dev setup we've got at the moment seems to be a start in the right direction from what I can see so far. It does require more time to wear in before it can really be seen as a success or a failure. > 4) What is the timescale for doing it This depends on who is involved with the efforts, who agrees, who wants to bring up (potentially) silly arguments, etc, etc. It's not really possible to set a deadline for something when you don't know who you will be working with. > 5) What experience do you have with this or a similar role I'm the lead of the Gentoo/*BSD team, the Gentoo/Alt ATs and the Bugday team. The latter two teams do require quite a bit of user interaction, which could be useful for the implementation of some of my ideas. > 6) Why do you think you are qualified Hrm, how different is this question to the question above? Meh. Well, I suppose I am quite vocal - I speak to people a lot. I'm involved with a local LUG. See answer to question above... > 7) How you plan to balance a council role with your current Gentoo > role Council will take precedence over most/all of my other roles. I will probably also be dropping out of some of the teams/projects where I have been relatively inactive. > 8) How much time can you dedicate to the council role Hmm. Well, around 7.5hrs a day if needs be. I should be able to pull out more hours from the hat, dependant on my school timetable for the next academic year. [..snip..]
