I'm curious what we should do to help that situation. One of the major issues so far has the been the extremely slow responses to funding requests (I admit, I'm slow too). And after they're approved, we're still stuck waiting on someone to actually make the transaction. There's just too many bottlenecks and its really starting to annoy some of our developers. I understand that we're all volunteers and only have so much time to deal with this stuff, but we really need to try and do something to deal with that. We were elected in our position so that means we should put more effect in what we do. Do we need to make the process better, easier on us? I think we've actually past the deadline on having another election for trustees (which I'm surprised no one has complained about yet). Should we just have another election for this year and get new people on board that have the sufficient time, or do we need to look at another alternative to that? The main example I'd like to point out is the recent AMD64 request. Its been sitting on our table for a *long time*. And once it got approved the transaction of funds for it never happened (I'm not trying to attack anyone that was in charge of that). Then osprey had issues, then suddenly everyone was on board to fund that too (within 48 hours). And since then, we're still waiting on funding to actually get moved. Either we need to hand over duties to people who do have the time, or we need to do something else about it. Its really becoming frustrating and apparent to our developers that we don't move very fast at all. I know from my side of things I've been busy with work related stuff and other real-life stuff. I've tried my best to keep up on things with the foundation, but its hard to do sometimes with all the other noise I see in email. Ok, thats the end of my ranting. :-) Thanks- --=20 Lance Albertson Gentoo Infrastructure | Operations Manager --- GPG Public Key: Key fingerprint: 0423 92F3 544A 1282 5AB1 4D07 416F A15D 27F4 B742 ramereth/irc.freenode.net --------------enigC70A409A32E568B54A653D36 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Darwin) iD8DBQFElDztQW+hXSf0t0IRApU+AKCnAdvo04kQNT5zPgiLL7dhEQXPswCfS0cK A9NYTs0ii4O4Uf+IUpdfeDk= =Qsy3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigC70A409A32E568B54A653D36-- -- gentoo-trustees@gentoo.org mailing list
