I understand the council to be a group of experienced Gentoo developers |
| 14 |
who have the knowledge and awareness to assist the distribution in |
| 15 |
making tough decisions. They shouldn't be counted on, by default, to |
| 16 |
bring "forward movement" to Gentoo; that's the responsibility of all of |
| 17 |
us and under most circumstances we shouldn't *need* the Council. |
| 18 |
However, they're there for when the developer community cannot agree on |
| 19 |
a standard. So in essence, the Council is often the last course of |
| 20 |
action to stop bike-shedding and incite productive activity on a given |
| 21 |
issue. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Actions often speak louder than words; if you feel strongly enough about |
| 24 |
something and want to push things forward, a council proposal may be |
| 25 |
what's needed assuming enough conversation on a given topic has happened |
| 26 |
and it hasn't gone anywhere. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
The less admin/bureaucratic overhead we have, the better. From what I |
| 29 |
gather even the Council feels this way, but that's just my two cents. |
