This is your chance to affect the technical development for Gentoo for the coming year and I encourage you to take it. Voting is easy, just login to your account on dev.gentoo.org and perform the following steps: Quick voting helper: $ votify --new council200906 [1] $ $(editor) .ballot-council200906 [2] $ votify --verify council200906 [3] $ votify --submit council200906 [4] While I'm not running this year. I encourage people to consider gentoofan23 (tanderson on IRC). He's done an outstanding job helping the current council members and without him much of the council's progress would have stalled. -- Doug Goldstein ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 49+ messages in thread

Cardoe said it very nicely and since he actively encouraged to vote for tanderson, I'd like to add a bit... I think it would be in the best interest of both Exherbo and Gentoo to elect gentoofan23, betelgeuse, dev-zero, peper, calchan and dertobi123 to the Gentoo Council. All of them have a good understanding of both Gentoo and Exherbo (no wonder with some of them working on Exherbo, too) and would be ideal candidates to get the best of both distros and deepen a cooperation and common understanding between both. This strengthening bridge of understanding can be seen in dev- zero's move to appoint ciaranm as his proxy for today's council meeting. While the other candidates certainly have great merits, they tend to only see one side and concentrate too much on Gentoo alone. May a great council be elected!

The spirit of the rule is excessively clear. No non-gentoo-developer can be a member of council -- permanent, temporary, or proxy.

If your ties to GLEP's 54/55 are not sufficient to cause you a conflict of interests then your ties to exherbo do. I would not _ever_ be able to accept a proxy offer in good conscience because of my work on Funtoo. Your lack of integrity, followed by your bellicose attitude simply astounds me. dev-zero should not have offered, and I think there needs to be a discussion as to why he did. Ciaran, you should not EVER have accepted it. The council was right in throwing it out. This isn't hard, we don't need a whole new set of rules and amendments to glep 39, we need developers and participants with common sense. Your behavior disgusts me (though I can point out that this is a continuous problem rather than simply contained in this one incident.)

Still, it did raise my eyebrows to see him mentioned as a proxy. While he has a good point that it doesn't seem to be in the rules, IMO it's simply too divisive at present. Maybe in five years or a decade... now's not the time (again, IMO). Similarly: >> While the other candidates certainly have great merits, they tend >> to only see one side and concentrate too much on Gentoo alone. Being open to cooperation is one thing. But when it makes a difference, Gentoo council members /should/ be primarily concerned with Gentoo. with cooperation with others important, but definitely secondary to the well- being of Gentoo. After all, it's the /Gentoo/ council, not the /community/ council. Were I voting (I'm not), I'd vote on what I saw as the merits of individual members in regard to Gentoo, preferably without regard to Exherbo or other community involvement, tho now that it's specifically posted, I'd likely count that as a minor negative for all but one, choosing one where it'd be a minor positive, as I see no problem with having a single person who can present issues for another part of the community, but again, it's not the Exherbo council, it's the Gentoo council, and IMO it should behave as it's labeled. Dual allegiances aren't a big issue in themselves if they're spread out enough, but weighed as heavily toward one external entity as suggested here isn't a good thing at all IMO. But if that's what gets voted in, well, I guess the devs have spoken, as I suppose they have if all those candidates now get ranked below reopen_nominations. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.

Recent "history" does not change the nature of a person, nor does it rebuild the bridges they have burnt. > There seem > to be a group of developers at which the mere mention of ciaranm results > in setting them off. So you expect us to just ignore all his past problems and give him a fresh start everytime someone mentions him?

I have come to know Ciaran as an elitist little twerp and he is one of a few people in the world I wouldn't want to meet, or wouldn't know what I'd do to if I did meet him. It's really that bad, yes. The man brought it all on himself for the nasty things he did in the past and should publicly apologise for each and every time he offended someone in a web-e-vised 20 hour sorry-a-thon before[1] he is allowed back to do more than voice his opinion on Gentoo-held media.

I would hope so. The people we elect to the council should concentrate on Gentoo, otherwise they'd have a conflict of interest. Cheers, Ben ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 49+ messages in thread

As Petteri noted it's not obvious that GLEP39 disallows choosing a non-dev as proxy for a council meeting. I haven't talked to Tiziano, and I don't know what he had in mind when he chose ciaranm as his proxy, but I'd be ready to believe part of it was that he wanted to experiment.

And experiments sometimes succeed, or sometimes they fail, Well, experimentation is OK (and I would encourage it for many things), but I'm not sure I'd agree that experimentally giving someone council powers for a even one meeting is wise, unless you are very sure that it will not result in adverse decisions being made. I'd rather see experimentation done in other, less risky ways. For what it's worth, I'd vote to have it codified that council members and proxies need to be Gentoo devs (or at least a member of the project in some capacity). To me, it is a good minimum requirement, at least. -Joe ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 49+ messages in thread

Well, it was surely not an experiment to see whether someone must be a dev or not to be a proxy. Based on GLEP 39 it was fairly clear to me this must not be the case and I at least expected the council to accept him (or any other non-dev) at least for that meeting. When I had to choose a proxy I basically went through the list of people I worked together and from which I know their opinions and they know mine. That would have been: dertobi123 and maekke, one a council member already, the other one unavailable at the time I looked for a proxy. Then there was tanderson who wasn't sure whether he has to proxy for another council member already and ciaranm who was present in most meetings, knows my opinion, can distinguish between his opinion and mine and worked on EAPI-3. I'm sorry when I offended some council members and other developers with that decision but guessing from the last discussions on #-council between Ciaran and other council members I really didn't expect such an animosity. For the claim that Exherbo-people undercut Gentoo: I don't care about what someone is doing in their freetime. I would also accept an Ubuntu dev, a Red Hat developer, drobbins or even Bill Gates as a council member if they'd invest enough time in Gentoo. I personally don't care about Exherbo, I'm neither a dev nor a user and the same thing goes for Funtoo. If nothing bad happens I will organize the booth again at the next Open Expo in September (hopefully together with dertobi123 and maekke), investing my personal time and money again to show people what Gentoo is about and I will also continue to promote Gentoo/Prefix at the University (where I'm working on a large installation on a big server) and I will continue to use Gentoo for an Embedded Project with hopefully over 3000 deployed systems within the next two years. Furthermore I only care partially about someones past. People change all the time and they deserve more than one chance. If I would show the same averseness to some devs I had fights with in the past as people do to Ciaran I couldn't work with them now. > And experiments sometimes succeed, or sometimes they fail, > but they often teach you something.

Well, Gentoo became (or always was) a multi-cultural project and what I see is that common sense really depends on one's cultural background.

As I stated in at least one mail before (and in countless discussions on IRC): I'd like to see the proxy-concept being removed since it is flawed as you point out below and replaced with something like "a council member may miss N meetings with M of them without prior notice" And then remove that slacker mark as well and just say: "if you miss more than those N meetings or miss M meetings without prior notice you get kicked". And for those who like the slacker mark to see who has missed a lot of meetings or missed meetings repeatedly we could have a statistics summary on proj/en/council with the number of missed meetings per member.

As a long time Gentoo user, I have to ask. Why is that EVERYONE on the council must be there or have someone there to represent them? Would Gentoo come to a end if one person or even two people were not present? I do agree that if a proxy is going to be used, they should be a developer. If it is not that way now, it should be changed. I been using Gentoo for years and wouldn't even consider serving as a proxy. I would certainly not want to be a tie breaker on a vote. As a American that sees his own country's government getting out of control, never count on common sense. Elected people rarely have any. If they do during the election, it disappears after taking their position. I think the vast majority of people here have seen that over the years. My $0.02 worth.

I believe the fear is in ultimately having a very small group of people (say 1-3) vote in something agreed among themselves, that the rest of the community doesn't agree with. Gentoo devs tend to be a rather independent lot, and they don't want that risk. That's the reason the council is seven members instead of say, five or three, as well. With a three person council it's really easy to get just two acting in cahoots, and with five, getting a third person isn't that much harder. A seven member council means in ordered for something to pass, at least four members must agree, and there's a lot of developers for whom that's simply the minimum number they can trust to make a reasonable decision. From that viewpoint, if anyone's absent without proxy, it lowers the "safe" level dramatically, because it's just too easy to persuade one or two other folks to vote with you, even if they don't share your ulterior motive. So the idea is to keep the number of votes to seven, so the number necessary for a majority is always a reasonably safe four. > I do agree that if a proxy is going to be used, they should be a > developer.

If I read GLEP 39 correctly, however, the reason it wasn't required that all council members be devs is because they'd be council members by virtue of being voted in by devs (being a dev is a requirement to vote). Thus, if a majority of voting devs voted in a Gentoo-non-dev, presumably they'd be expressing explicit trust in that non-dev to do the right thing. Of course, the same doesn't apply to proxies, who are single-person designated by the to-be-absent council member. Thus, the safety margin doesn't exist there, they were NOT approved by the voting devs as a whole, or even the council as a whole, and it's certainly a reasonable argument that because of that, they should at least be devs. However, see my recent post proposing designated proxies, taking the job for the full council term of a year. They could either be voted in as running mates along with the (voting) council, or designated and approved as the first order of business of the new council. (Since voting is already underway for the new council, it'd have to be designated and approved, this year, with the running mate idea perhaps next year if thought good.) That'd eliminate both the unprepared proxy still trying to get up to speed on what he's supposed to be voting on, as they'd presumably be as prepared as would the regular voting council member, AND the problem of non-dev as proxy, since they'd at minimum have been approved by the council as a whole, if not voted in, in the same council vote as the (voting) council itself. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.

A vote can only happen if a certain number, say five or six, is in attendance. That would end up with there being a majority vote but by more than 3 people. What you say is very true. I read about a city council that met and voted with all the opposing side not being told it was going to happen at all. Needless to say, they got their way.

It seems to me that either proxies need to end or they need to be "running mates" as you put it. Then they would have to be devs to be "voted" in as proxies which would solve the whole issue. BTW, I'm sort of a conspiracy theorist. We have a family lawyer that does our legal stuff and he has learned the hard way to look at every single angle that is even remotely possible. I got that trait from my Mom. It's also what I hate about our government here.

And when you have one less, it apparently immediately means a new council election. I guess that's one reason these days to always appoint proxies. The other is otherwise getting a missed meeting record, then a slacker mark and then a boot. And then there's the long tradition of always when a meeting un-attendance is foreseen a proxy getting appointed. I guess the new council can think about this, but a) time spent on figuring out such rules and whatnot to have to deal with unfortunately happening corner cases is time better spent on getting actual Gentoo improving done b) I don't think the council itself should be having so much to do with any such figuring out c) there are far bigger reaching restructuring ideas in the works for future proposals > > I do agree that if a proxy is going to be used, they should be a > > developer.

Extending that, what about having, at least for a first proxy level, a "designated proxy"? Each council member would choose a proxy at the beginning of their term, or even as a running mate if taken that far. Designated proxies would then be effectively council members with observer status -- no voting power -- unless their designated member was absent. Following the logic, designated proxies /could/ (IOW, I'm not sure it is practical to take it this far) be held to the same general council standards, slacker marks for non-attendance, etc, and in otherwise comment-closed sessions would have voice -- they just wouldn't have the vote unless their designated voting council member was absent. If the proxy was chosen at the beginning of the term (not as a running mate), the first order of business of the first meeting of a new council would be approving the table of proxies. Either way, it would basically eliminate the question of whether a council member or designated proxy must be a dev or not, because either they'd have been voted in with that taken into account, or the council would have approved the designated proxies at the first meeting. (I'd suggest, for fairness and efficiency, the first approval vote be held on the entire table of proxies, not individually. If that vote fails, then go the individual route. I'm not sure about what to do if a voting member doesn't make the first meeting; perhaps give the presumed proxy the vote for that first meeting, even if it means he's voting on approving himself?) Now, practically speaking, if this is instituted, since we'd be effectively doubling the number of people on council (just not the number of votes), it may be useful to reduce the number of voting members a bit. It would in fact be possible to have it an even number, as well, in which case, if there was a tie, the designated proxies could vote as well, with their combined votes taken as a single tie override. (If the number of voting members were even, however, so would be the number of proxies, thus leading to the possibility of a tie vote there as well. I'd suggest that a wise policy in that case would be that the matter is voted down, as there's simply not enough consensus on the matter yet. If desired, the issue could be brought up again in say... six months, thus giving each council two chances at a vote, without locking it up on the same issue for months at a time. Alternatively, the first runner(s)-up could be the tie-breaker, and they'd need observer status as well, in ordered to be in the loop enough to cast that vote.) FWIW, it's seven council members now. Perhaps five would work, yielding ten, with the designated proxies as observers. Even four, using the tie breaking rules above, making it 8 including designated proxies. I'd hate to see it go below four as that gets too easy for abuse, but 4-5 should work. Now if the running mate idea was implemented, there'd be another option as well. Gentoo could continue the policy of runner-up taking the vacancy if one opens (and the runner-up isn't reopen_nominations), or it could switch to the designated proxy aka running mate taking the position. Of course, in the latter case, the running mate would now need to select a proxy, which would then be handled using the approval process mentioned above. (In the former case, the runner-up would have already had a running mate.) If the running mates idea is chosen, a rule could be instituted that there's no person appearing at both voting member and running mate (on another ticket), or it could be that a first person on one ticket could be the running mate on another, but a person could only appear once in each spot. (The latter would presumably end up with pair-tickets, where the top person switches off, tho that wouldn't be a given. In the case of pair-tickets, choosing the one would automatically eliminate the other from further consideration, thereby eliminating the case of two voting council members being each others designated proxy, as well. All this would eliminate the question of whether proxies are up to speed on a given issue, or the briefing they had been given, etc, at least for the first level of proxy, which would now be observer members unless their primary was absent, with the usual expectation and obligation of council members to follow the issues brought before the council. Of course, it would increase the chance of both primary voting member and designated proxy being unavailable, but that could be handled with basically the system we have today, with the additional minimal requirement that non-designated proxies be Gentoo developers in good standing, as they wouldn't have gone thru the vote or approval process. As a new council term is just now starting, obviously the running mate idea couldn't be used this year. However, council members could still choose a designated proxy for the year, thus starting the process. If all council members do so and the council chooses to vote on the table of proxies, then there should be no restriction on who is chosen, since they'll be voted on anyway. If the council as a whole does not choose to go the designated proxy route this year, maintaining the status quo, then I'd say it's unfair to choose a non-dev as a proxy, because there has been no vote approving it. (That would seem to be, after all, the reason the council members as devs restriction wasn't in GLEP 39, because they'd have been voted in, and presumably, if the voters, who /are/ devs, voted in a non-dev, they'd know what they were doing. Since under the current system there's no such approval required for proxies, I'd say it's only fair that they be required to be devs, thus minimizing any controversy over their status, and votes they may take.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.

Why silence what you can ignore? Also Exherbo is the most similar project we have to compare ourselves too. If drobbins had ignored freebsd where would we be now? We shouldn't ignore anything, debain, suse, fedora, etc, etc, etc all have something to contribute. Ignoring them because "we" don't like their members will only make Gentoo weaker. We should instead be looking at what they have done that we can use to improve gentoo. As our closest relative ( of any distro ) having Council members that have at least a basic understanding of what (and how) they are attempting to achieve is a good thing. The same goes for Sabayon. > To appoint as proxy for a council meeting someone who has been booted > from Gentoo is a clear lapse of judgement, and would in my eyes > disqualify the involved council member from functioning in that position.

I think this works only if Gentoo can exist in a vacuum. And in my opinion it can't. An exchange of ideas among projects is good, and for Gentoo I suppose the council is the official driver. To me, that implies that council ignore other projects like Exherbo only to the detriment of Gentoo. (I believe we already have dual developers for Gentoo/Exherbo, but I haven't bothered to verify.) > > > This strengthening bridge of understanding can be seen in dev- > > zero's move to appoint ciaranm as his proxy for today's council meeting. > > To appoint as proxy for a council meeting someone who has been booted > from Gentoo is a clear lapse of judgement, and would in my eyes > disqualify the involved council member from functioning in that position. > > > While the other candidates certainly have great merits, they tend to only see > > one side and concentrate too much on Gentoo alone. > > I would hope so. The people we elect to the council should concentrate > on Gentoo, otherwise they'd have a conflict of interest. Conflict of interest? How so. And like it or not, as best as I can tell GLEP39 is the ruling document for council, and it does not require council members or proxies to be gentoo developers. It might be reasonable to require they be members of a gentoo project, but as someone (Denis?) explained to me, Gentoo project members need not be developers. Anyone with something useful to contribute should be able to, but only developers should have commit access (actually, the trustees can request limited commit access to any Foundation trustee or officer, I believe). > > Cheers, > Ben Flames not required, Regards, Ferris -- Ferris McCormick (P44646, MI) <fmccor@gentoo.org> Developer, Gentoo Linux (Sparc, Userrel, Trustees) [-- Attachment #2: This is a digitally signed message part --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 198 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 49+ messages in thread

I suspect most devs just avoid the drama. I do echo the sentiment that the Gentoo council should be focused on Gentoo. Sure, nothing wrong with cooperating with other projects and learning from them. Certainly I don't want a not-invented-here attitude, and I think paludis has a lot to offer. However, those who have questioned the wisdom of cirianm as a proxy do have a point. Technical knowledge alone is not the critiera of a council member. One needs to be able to build consensus - not that we need to be strangled by consensus, but we can't afford to rule by edict either. I'm happy that everybody seems to be getting along better, but council leadership requires maturity, and maturity is reflected by how people behave over the long haul. Cirianm's best bet to get accepted by the gentoo devs is to just start working with them - if he works positively with enough different people (especially those with different opinions) he'll have no trouble gaining their support. However, that is something that can take months or years - not weeks to a few months. I might be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, but that is just me. I'm not so sure I'd be eager to have him be a proxy if I were on the council. Sure, I'd be happy to yield my floor time to him if I thought he had something worth listening to, but a proxy is more than just a platform to talk - any mailing list subscriber already has that. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 49+ messages in thread

That's not my decision. I don't have anything to do with the running of Exherbo. However, if Patrick or Plasmaroo have useful contributions for Exherbo, I would be happy to ensure that those contributions get applied. Again, this is not about me or Exherbo.
