Although I've mentioned quite a bit, I feel that some of these |

questions still need addressing... This lot can probably be added to |

Black magik. Encouragement of ideas such as project updates, at least |
| 13 |
some support and/or contributions to those who work on other |
| 14 |
Gentoo-based distros, taking their ideas and contributions into the |
| 15 |
tree, etc, etc. One possible idea would be to encourage people to use |
| 16 |
one channel for primary communications, currently, many people make |
| 17 |
decisions (in private?) on IRC, then "forget" to tell everyone else |
| 18 |
about the decision... If we were all encouraged to make decisions on |
| 19 |
relevant email aliases, on the right mailing list, etc, etc, there |
| 20 |
would be less people missing out. The -project, -dev-announce and -dev |
| 21 |
setup we've got at the moment seems to be a start in the right |
| 22 |
direction from what I can see so far. It does require more time to wear |
| 23 |
in before it can really be seen as a success or a failure. |

This depends on who is involved with the efforts, who agrees, who wants |
| 26 |
to bring up (potentially) silly arguments, etc, etc. It's not really |
| 27 |
possible to set a deadline for something when you don't know who you |
| 28 |
will be working with. |

I'm the lead of the Gentoo/*BSD team, the Gentoo/Alt ATs and the Bugday |
| 31 |
team. The latter two teams do require quite a bit of user interaction, |
| 32 |
which could be useful for the implementation of some of my ideas. |

Hrm, how different is this question to the question above? Meh. Well, I |
| 35 |
suppose I am quite vocal - I speak to people a lot. I'm involved with a |
| 36 |
local LUG. See answer to question above... |

Council will take precedence over most/all of my other roles. I will |
| 40 |
probably also be dropping out of some of the teams/projects where I |
| 41 |
have been relatively inactive. |
| 42 |
> 8) How much time can you dedicate to the council role |
| 43 |
Hmm. Well, around 7.5hrs a day if needs be. I should be able to pull |
| 44 |
out more hours from the hat, dependant on my school timetable for the |
| 45 |
next academic year. |
