I don't have a Gentoo history of 15 years yet but from my P.O.V. I don't |
9 |
see that council's role has or should change. I am actually happy with |
10 |
the role from the past ~5 years I am actively watching. |
11 |
|
12 |
And I disagree with the opinion of others, like zlogene, who said or |
13 |
wishes that council should be more active. Like said many times, for me, |
14 |
council isn't special. Don't give me your vote if you just want to sit |
15 |
there and let other people think and decide what should happen in Gentoo. |

Sure, council members like any other Gentoo project member can also have |
18 |
ideas. But from my P.O.V. council members aren't special and should be |
19 |
threaten the same. So if a council member has an idea, he/she must go |
20 |
the same route through mailing lists and can't skip all of this to just |
21 |
discuss and vote on during meetings. |
22 |
|
23 |
So if *you* have an idea, just share it with the community when council |
24 |
will ask for agenda items next time. Council will help you towards the |
25 |
process. |

Like said above, I don't think the role is changing. |

Like said above, I can't think of why a role change is required. |

Like said above, I don't think the role must change so I don't know how |
43 |
I should here. |
