Since I have been a Gentoo user, there have been two completely |
9 |
different management styles in use. When drobbins was around, he was |
10 |
like the MD and Gentoo was managed as if it were a single project. |
11 |
Since that time, Gentoo has grown into a loose knit collection of |
12 |
smaller projects all doing their own thing. Higher level collaboration |
13 |
must be happening because releng relay on all the bits coming together |
14 |
but its not much in evidence. |

There are two options for Gentoo. We can add some reporting and control |
17 |
to make Gentoo appear as a single cohesive project, the price for that |
18 |
is some bureaucracy. Or we can continue management by tribal warfare, |
19 |
as is evidenced by the flame fests on this list. |

|
21 |
Both take about the same amount of effort from the participants. |
22 |
What we lack to manage Gentoo as a single project is a proactive |
23 |
management body. |
