Whilst I'd agree Ciaran flames with the best of them, and trolls with |
| 6 |
the worst, you simply cannot contend he never contributed anything to |
| 7 |
the project and despite now no longer being a developer, he still |
| 8 |
continues to contribute. |

|
| 10 |
I often don't agree with him, but can't help but respect the work he does. |

I would like to see Council move towards a more compressed meeting |
| 13 |
format -- people presenting arguments need to work out their stuff |
| 14 |
before bringing it up in the meeting, and to allow for quick |
| 15 |
turn-around of decisions I'd suggest fortnightly meetings which are |
| 16 |
time-limited to 60 minutes each. A prioritized schedule determines |
| 17 |
which order we deal with issues in and anything not getting attention |
| 18 |
is bumped 2 weeks, with the priority adjusted if necessary to ensure |
| 19 |
it gets attention then. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Each issue should be limited to between 5-20 minutes. If people can't |
| 22 |
get through the politics and debate in the allotted time then it |
| 23 |
should either get bumped 2 weeks and given another 5-20 minutes, or we |
| 24 |
should table a special meeting to allow a full 60-90 minutes *just* to |
| 25 |
decide that one issue and nothing else. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Sitting around in #gentoo-council for 3-4 hours every month isn't |
| 28 |
conducive to progress, it's going to make people get tired/bored and |
| 29 |
not pay proper attention and/or not bother to turn up, which just |
| 30 |
leads to elections. Endless cycle? |
