I see you're on the Java project and per your project page [1] you're |
| 11 |
currently suffering from a lack of manpower. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
What else do you need to see acknowledged? What proposal do you have |
| 14 |
for addressing these problems that requires council approval? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
If the java project is saying that Gentoo has some problem with java |
| 17 |
and they want the council to echo this, I'm sure the council will go |
| 18 |
along with it, but I also doubt that on its own doing so will change |
| 19 |
much. On the other hand, if there is some kind of conflict within |
| 20 |
Gentoo that is blocking progress that the java project is trying to |
| 21 |
make, that is probably something we could step in and help fix. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I just want you to have the opportunity to generate |
| 24 |
discussion/proposals/etc before the meeting so that you're not stuck |
| 25 |
waiting another 4 weeks for the next meeting if nothing very |
| 26 |
actionable comes out of it. |
