I was also thinking about turning the Council into a Leaders Group , |
| 10 |
or probably to create a new Core Team. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Difference being that they would be empowered to take decisions; mainly |
| 13 |
technical ones. |

I already can hear some of you worried with questions like "You mean, to |
| 16 |
have people with no clue of $<add-you-favorite-team-here> to take |
| 17 |
decisions about $<add-you-favorite-subject-here>?". |

Well, first at all, we need to understand and moreover, accept something. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
If we want to bring real and important changes to the way Gentoo works, |
| 22 |
we will also need to assume 'real' and important risks. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I think that we all pretty much know this, but we are scared of facing |
| 25 |
this reality and therefore we have incurred to just get a more passive |
| 26 |
body and 'try' to assume we have already addressed the issue with the |
| 27 |
Council (nothing against you guys, it is just that the body isn't |
| 28 |
designed for this). |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
So, now straight to the point, we could elect a Core Team , including |
| 31 |
people from each team. And those will be the responsible to take Gentoo |
| 32 |
into new 'realms' , with its 'risks' included. I am also scared about |
| 33 |
this model .. it might not work , it actually might create the next |
| 34 |
armageddon for many. But what if it does? , it might help solving this |
| 35 |
stagnation state Gentoo is facing right now, and bring more new ideas |
| 36 |
into play. i would give it a chance because my friend, it is the only |
| 37 |
way to solve the issue. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
I personally see the Council as a very passive democratic body, which |
| 40 |
might be good at times; but not always. It is not definitely good for |
| 41 |
taking new changes and innovations into our community. |
| 42 |

Something like that anecdote of a tribe invading an island.. after they |
| 44 |
landed on it, the captain ordered to burn all of the ships.. his |
| 45 |
soldiers asked him why? .. he said there was only two ways of ending the |
| 46 |
battle ... death .. or conquering the island. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
This .. or let's keep running away forever. |

My two Bs. cents. |

PS: This was just a general idea. If you are interested about it, let's |
| 54 |
discuss its implementations details in a constructive way instead of |
| 55 |
flames about its already possible details. |
