Its becoming more evident that some of us are lacking on sufficient time |
| 2 |
for this council. I'm curious what we should do to help that situation. |
| 3 |
One of the major issues so far has the been the extremely slow responses |
| 4 |
to funding requests (I admit, I'm slow too). And after they're approved, |
| 5 |
we're still stuck waiting on someone to actually make the transaction. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
There's just too many bottlenecks and its really starting to annoy some |
| 8 |
of our developers. I understand that we're all volunteers and only have |
| 9 |
so much time to deal with this stuff, but we really need to try and do |
| 10 |
something to deal with that. We were elected in our position so that |
| 11 |
means we should put more effect in what we do. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Do we need to make the process better, easier on us? I think we've |
| 14 |
actually past the deadline on having another election for trustees |
| 15 |
(which I'm surprised no one has complained about yet). Should we just |
| 16 |
have another election for this year and get new people on board that |
| 17 |
have the sufficient time, or do we need to look at another alternative |
| 18 |
to that? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The main example I'd like to point out is the recent AMD64 request. Its |
| 21 |
been sitting on our table for a *long time*. And once it got approved |
| 22 |
the transaction of funds for it never happened (I'm not trying to attack |
| 23 |
anyone that was in charge of that). Then osprey had issues, then |
| 24 |
suddenly everyone was on board to fund that too (within 48 hours). And |
| 25 |
since then, we're still waiting on funding to actually get moved. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Either we need to hand over duties to people who do have the time, or we |
| 28 |
need to do something else about it. Its really becoming frustrating and |
| 29 |
apparent to our developers that we don't move very fast at all. |

| 31 |
I know from my side of things I've been busy with work related stuff and |
| 32 |
other real-life stuff. I've tried my best to keep up on things with the |
| 33 |
foundation, but its hard to do sometimes with all the other noise I see |
| 34 |
in email. |

Ok, thats the end of my ranting. :-) |
