The last flame was in May with all the ChangeLog mess. Not that far away. |

Good point except that these are accomplishes of sub-projects ( openrc, |
23 |
releng, pms and prefix ) and have nothing to do with how Gentoo is |
24 |
governed. It wouldn't make any difference if Gentoo had a single leader |
25 |
or a Council with 20 members. Those project would have still |
26 |
accomplished their goals. What about global project issues though? ( see |
27 |
below ) |
28 |
|
29 |
Gentoo as a governance model is still the same, meaning it is far too |
30 |
complex, too much time is consumed on mailing lists leading to dead |
31 |
ends, and global project directions or improvements are introduced |
32 |
slowly. Some global project issues that should have been resolved years |
33 |
ago are |
34 |
|
35 |
* slacking arches |
36 |
* dead projects with hundreds of open bugs |
37 |
* singed manifests etc |
38 |
|
39 |
I vividly remember that the previous council tried to resolve the |
40 |
slacking arches issue. Of course there was no decision. So if we try to |
41 |
bring this again to the agenda, we need to recycle the whole discussion |
42 |
that was done then, get our MLs busy for a couple of weeks, and |
43 |
hopefully we will have a solution by January 2012. |
44 |
|
45 |
I am sorry, but this is not what I call "flexible governance model" |
