Re: [gentoo-dev] Nominations open for the Gentoo Council 2007/08

[Jan Kundrát]

I nominate Wernfried Haas (amne). Based on a thorough and detailed 
review of Gentoo state-of-affair that we did together over several beers 
some time ago when he was at Prague, I'm sure he's one of the best 
candidates for the human, caring part of the Council.

Anyone pointing out at any old dirty laundry concerning Wernfried will 
be slapped to death with an empty beer pint. This is no assault, but 
rather a simple matter of fact.

I'd like to nominate:

vapier
tsunam
nightmorph
seemant
avenj
christel

Although most of them will probably decline, I think they would do an
excellent job straightening out Gentoo's heading and have the barnacles
to perform the requisite keelhauling.

Thanks,

I've just rescued the xml we used the last year and update the current 
nominations. The list is in:

http://dev.gentoo.org/~yoswink/council-2007.xml

I will try to update it often, but please, tell me if I miss something 
or if there is some error.

How is being a devrel member important for the table? I don't think it's
any more special than any other TLP.

Thanks Jan and others for the nomination. Once again this proves that
beer solves all promblems. ;-)
Until now I haven't had time to actually think about accepting it, but
i hope everything around me calms down a bit in the next days.
In any way i feel flattered by the trust put in me by some of the
folks here - thanks.

Alternatively, we could just get a refill. :-)

It is very important in the case of Council members as the Council is
the escalation point for Developer Relations appeals.

True, but I am only in the devrel list because recruiters happens to be
a devrel sub project but in the end it shouldn't matter much whether
there is a tick there or not.

The Council is the escalation point for QA appeals too. At least in

Thank you for the nomination! I would be delighted to stand, and do
indeed accept. And hope that if elected I can help make Gentoo a better
place, both for developers and the wider community.

	I'd like to nominate Marien Zwarts (marienz) for the Council 2007/2008.

	I believe he would make an excellent council member, not only does he
have the technical smarts necessary to help give the council the
technical spine it needs, but he also has incredible skills when it
comes to people management and interacting with other members of the
community.

I would second that for sure. I received help form him in #gentoo years
before I ever became a dev. Also roger55 helped me out a few times :)

I hereby accept the nomination. I may write up a longer manifest some
time, but fwiw i will try to push the council into a more open
direction. The recent development of council meetings and their
summaries not being posted (or at least very late) to the list makes me
think that there is some alienation between council and developers,
which i hope i can change.

cheers,

While any efforts you put forth if elected to the council will
appreciated. Let's not take a malicious stance against our current
council. I don't thing they are intentionally alienating, or delaying in
summaries.

Anyone notice no more GWNs? IMHO they like many of us are simply over
committed. So things don't always get done in reasonable or ideal time
frames. I doubt there is any intentional delay in presenting the
summaries and etc.

Then again, their meetings aren't held in private, and one should not
solely rely on summaries. Unless there is a policy stating such
summaries are required or etc.

Thanks very much, I appreciate the nomination!

But I must decline.

I don't feel that I have enough experience in Gentoo land yet. Plus
I'll be starting a new job next month and am not yet sure how much time
I can commit.

Ask me again in a year :)

In the vein of being reasonable, I will respectfully decline (but thank
you :). I'm having a hard enough time balancing all that I have on my
plate now, and with my router flaking my ssh connections home this last
week, even less opportunity to be online. I appreciate the nomination
(especially so out of the blue), and wish the Council nominees the best
of luck.

I appreciate the nomination by you and others, but after a whole month
of thinking on this, I must decline, mostly for reasons of time commitment.

Council actually isn't a job I'd want to do; I'm not out to "be in
charge." I'm sure I'd take the same approach that I would to everything
else I do; do the job that's before me, but I don't think I'd be able to
devote enough time to do a *good* job. I've no problem doing any
necessary keelhauling etc., but I'm not sure that I have the time. And
no matter how fast I'd try to learn, I'm not starting off with the same
detailed knowledge of ebuilds and Portage that the other candidates have.

Meanwhile, I'll continue making a difference within Gentoo by doing
documentation for any and all interested parties, and anything else I
can contribute to, like the GWN. It's not council work, but I'll
continue to try to make Gentoo better for everyone, at least in my
little corner. :)
