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 |

| 51 |
In the meantime Sebastian has got back to me about smolt. |

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. |
