[gentoo-dev] Call for nominations

[Paul de Vrieze]

Hi all,

As there is a vacant position for the lead of the desktop toplevel project we 
have decided to do the following:

All developers are allowed to nominate other developers for this position. 
Such a nomination should be accompanied with a short writing why you think 
this person should be nominated. These nominations should be sent to me. The 
deadline is for Sunday, November 9th.

After the deadline closes I will collect all nominations and put them in a 
list. This list will again be send to the mailing list. Now people will have 
a week to send me the reasons why the nominees should not be elected as lead. 
This is also the place where nominees can say that they are not available for 
the position.

The reasons in favor and against a certain person will be collected and send 
to the managers After the second deadline the managers will discuss the 
nominations until the first meeting on which there will be a vote. The 
results of the vote will first be announced to the person that is elected. 
After this person has been notified, he or she will be announced on 
gentoo-dev@g.o.

Please take into account the following profile for the lead:
- Respected within the gentoo comunity
- A diplomatic personality as there are many existing projects which are now
  more independent that need to be put under the desktop project. Those
  projects mainly just want to keep doing what they do, and not give away
  responsibility. I think a diplomatic response will be better here than just
  pushing.
- A vision where the gentoo desktop should go.

Paul

ps. So send the nominations to me, not to -dev or -core
