[gentoo-dev] council meetings
Grant Goodyear
First, congratulations! Now get to work! *Grin*
We needed to have the new metastructure plan someplace easy to find, so
I created glep 39 for it. It's probably worth re-reading, just to make
sure you know what's now on your plate. The big item is that there
needs to be a public meeting by the end of the month, and I'm sure that
there is at least one GLEP (if not several) that needs to be voted upon.
I got burnt out running the managers' meetings, so I'm afraid that I'm
not volunteering to run these. It's not a difficult job, though, and I
would just suggest rotating the meeting chairperson job among the
council members. Some possibly useful suggestions: (a) Put the current
topic of discussion in /topic, (b) Put the easy stuff early in the
agenda, so that at least something gets accomplished, (c) it's okay to
politely tell people that the discussion is diverging from the topic at
hand (I probably should have done so more often), and (d) meetings
should really have a fixed ending time as well as a fixed starting time.
Although I don't want to run the meetings, I'm certainly willing to help
if needed.
I have high hopes for this new Council, but of course it's up to you
folks to make of it what you will. Personally, I expect great things.
Best,
