Because IMHO it's not their place. We have a Summer of Code Project. We |
| 21 |
know there are issues. We plan to address them. The council is the *last |
| 22 |
place* to take issues in my mind. Think Supreme Court (bad analogy but |
| 23 |
whatever). If you have a problem with the way the summer of code is |
| 24 |
handling (or perhaps will handle) this situation feel free to talk to us, |
| 25 |
e-mail us, find us on irc (gentoo-soc@g.o and #gentoo-soc |
| 26 |
respectively). |

I get really irritated when people just say 'well go talk to the council' |
| 30 |
when they haven't even talked to the project members, or the project lead, |
| 31 |
or god forbid, the ombudsman. |
