1 IMHO likely off topic for -dev and proper place would be -project as it is not
2 technical in nature.

19 So many projects, so much bureaucracy, many on multiple projects/teams wearing
20 multiple hats. How do they have time for them all? IMHO it is better to find
21 someone else to be part of another team, than to wear multiple hats. In most
22 organizations you get 1 title, belong to 1 team, or department.

24 I have a feeling Gentoo has more projects than developers or staff.

26 Focus needs to be on increasing numbers, not putting out staffing needs which
27 likely will not be filled. Along those lines would be interesting to see how
28 many staffing needs were met via putting out some sort of staffing needs
29 information.

31 People need a reason over all to contribute to and join Gentoo. Putting out
32 staffing needs does little to motivate anyone to get involved.
