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. |
| 15 |

| 16 |
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. |
| 20 |
|
| 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. |
