[gentoo-dev] NFP lack of progress

[Brian Harring]

Hola.

Email's pretty simple- from where I'm sitting, there doesn't seem to 
be any actual progress on trustees issues.

Current issues with no progress-

1) Copyright assignment.  Check the nfp archives, last comment is sep 
26th, seems to be totally dead.
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.nfp/

2) bylaws.  They're proposed.  About it.  Last update to the bylaws 
doc was 10/24/05, http://www.gentoo.org/foundation/en/bylaws.xml

3) quarterly filings.  We've got 2nd quarter '05 up 
(04/01/05-07/30/05).  Where's 3rd?  4th actually being worked upon?  
I'm assuming the pages haven't been posted but the paperwork (whatever 
there may be) has been handled.


Additionally, bank transfer is underway, but donnie is responsive on 
it so not raising it as an issue.


General commentary from nfp members who have responded when I've poked 
for updates is that there isn't much to do- 'k, we still have 
outstanding issues that don't seem to have any progress occuring.

I've tried getting info out of -nfp ml regarding actual progress, but 
thus far either no responses on issues at hand, or a repeat of same 
state.

So I'd like to know the following-

1) where we're _actually_ at on these issues.
2) who is working on what
3) what _exact_ issues are holding folks up.
4) what is being done to resolve the hold ups.
5) What actual progress/work has been done thus far (no, don't need to 
document something publically viewable like "wrote bylaws")
6) A rough schedule of when things are going to be accomplished.  Not 
asking for hard figures, but if you're held up by X, I'd like to know 
when you expect X to be done so we can gauge how things are going.

Yes... email is a bit forceful, but if you look through the nfp 
archives, this seems to be the remaining option available.  
Additionally, we *do* elect trustee members, so transparency here is a 
bit of requirement- otherwise, it's pretty damn hard to vote out the 
slackers if we can't identify who they are (this is assuming folks are 
slacking of course, which may not be the case).

Finally, this is intentionally sent to -dev rather then the sekret 
flame-war arena that is -core, as I stated above, transparency is 
required.
