Agreeing with previous posters to this thread here, it is a bit of |
| 11 |
popularity contest ;) |

While being all for finally documented EAPI stuff (we really need use |
| 17 |
and slot deps), I also want to keep an eye on user involvement. After |
| 18 |
all I wouldn't be a dev myself if some other dev would have been willing |
| 19 |
to help me with this stuff. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I think we have quite a bunch of powerusers who either hide a bit in the |
| 22 |
corner or hit some devs they can't work along with. Actually makes me |
| 23 |
sad when I see such stuff when userrel@ gets involved. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Besides that, some Distributions that base their work on gentoo already |
| 26 |
have hit some technical issues with the system they want to work around |
| 27 |
(There will be a binary merger some time soonish)... We should see if we |
| 28 |
can pick up some stuff from the communities that are even not directly |
| 29 |
gentoo related to see if we can merge work instead of duplicating it. |
| 30 |
I second a recent planet post about NotInventedHere problems sometimes. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
That should bring us back on track and at the technical top of |
| 33 |
(meta)distributions :) |

For the technical part, well, you can't force someone to do things if he |
| 38 |
works just for fun. Though I want to get people motivated to work |
| 39 |
towards the new features mentioned in previous questions. On many ends |
| 40 |
we have proven that we can handle even huge evolutions soonish, so we |
| 41 |
should go on with it. |
| 42 |

> 4) What is the timescale for doing it |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Some of my ideas take some weeks, some may last longer. Depends on |
| 46 |
motivation of all involved, though I'm willing to set a point on that. |

As being part of userrel, overlays lead and sunrise co-lead I already |
| 51 |
have a fair share at users front I think ;) |
| 52 |

| 55 |
I'm quite active in the opensource community (member of two LUGs), |
| 56 |
gentoo user since 1.4rc days and dev for more than one and a half year |
| 57 |
now. I think I know more a bit about how the stuff works around here. |

| 60 |
|
| 61 |
I mentored / co-mentored a good handful of devs who keep up the work |
| 62 |
when I'm not in (Uni exams mainly) ;) |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
> 8) How much time can you dedicate to the council role |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
Should be something around 1-2 hours a day, sometimes more, sometimes a |
| 67 |
bit less. After all I still maintain some mystic thing called real-life |
| 68 |
;) Though if you have something important, I am on irc, reachable via |
| 69 |
email and if there is really scary stuff going on, some devs have my |
| 70 |
cell phone number to send me a text about it. |
