Agreed. We could decide we do not elect the council members based on |
| 13 |
their coding skills or any other type of technical skill. But instead |
| 14 |
have the nominees do some campaigning before the elections, and make |
| 15 |
direction-setting propositions for the coming year. |

Another thing that bothers me is the possible overlapping between |
| 18 |
council members, trustees and devrel. I wouldn't mind at all that any |
| 19 |
dev could only be one of these at most at the same time. I know that |
| 20 |
resigning from a position won't end the relationship between you and |
| 21 |
your ex-fellow devs from the group you've just quit, but at least |
| 22 |
functionally the link doesn't exist anymore. Plus, taking into account |
| 23 |
that we have a life outside of gentoo, and that these functions are |
| 24 |
the critical ones, having only one of these positions means a better |
| 25 |
chance to be efficient. |
