Hi. |
5 |
|
6 |
Sometime ago after the issue of "slacking arches" was raised again at a |
7 |
council meeting, I've started an internal discussion with Gentoo's arch |
8 |
teams, to determine the current status of the arch teams and to check |
9 |
how we could help improve it. |
10 |
|
11 |
I'm now quoting one email I've sent in the last round, hoping to start a |
12 |
public discussion about two issues raised internally. |
13 |
I'm bcc'ing the arch teams so they're aware of this new thread and to |
14 |
give them a chance to chime in. |

7. General issues |
26 |
|
27 |
Seems I forgot a few general issues that were raised in the previous thread. |
28 |
|
29 |
* lack of man power and burn-out |
30 |
|
31 |
As some arch team members have mentioned, one of the most important |
32 |
issues affecting arch teams is a general lack of man-power which |
33 |
frequently leads to developer burn-out. |
34 |
Anyone has any thoughts to share how to address this? Also, is there |
35 |
anything we can do to improve the coordination between arch teams and is |
36 |
there any way we can share some load between teams? |
37 |
|
38 |
* lack of statistics |
39 |
|
40 |
Another issue raised by some developers is the lack of statistics so we |
41 |
can know how many people use arches and so arch team members can have |
42 |
any feedback about their work. I agree that numbers are important, so |
43 |
I'd like to have a way to collect statistics about Gentoo's usage. |
44 |
I've contacted Sebastian Pipping (sping) about this because of his smolt |
45 |
project, but haven't heard back from him yet. |
46 |
Does anyone have any suggestions about this? Does anyone want to work on |
47 |
this? |
48 |
|

50 |
|
51 |
In the meantime Sebastian has got back to me about smolt. |
52 |
|
53 |
Dear member of the Gentoo community, if you have any insight about these |
54 |
issues or if you have anything you'd like to propose, we'd love to hear |
55 |
from you. |
