I very strongly disagree with this view. I do want an elected body that |
| 21 |
can have influence in the distribution, but I don't agree with this view |
| 22 |
that there's the council, the developers and everything else "doesn't |
| 23 |
matter" - doesn't matter if it's expressed in other words, more subtly |
| 24 |
or diplomatically. |
| 25 |
I'll try to write my ideas on this subject in another reply to this |
| 26 |
thread, but for now I'll just say that we should try to find a balance |
| 27 |
between individual projects and their elected leads and the council. |
| 28 |
Furthermore, we have some special projects like Developer Relations and |
| 29 |
Infrastructure that need particular care as their "subordinate role" is |
| 30 |
either not so clear or not so desirable. |
| 31 |
To address specifically your point about conflict of interest, that is |
| 32 |
something that we should never waive casually. There is no rule that the |
| 33 |
DevRel lead cannot be a council member - in case you've missed it, our |
| 34 |
new DevRel lead is a council member. But we have a policy on how to deal |
| 35 |
with developers and the eagerness on the idea to throw it away and just |
| 36 |
let the council (the single body council?) do what it wants, is very |
| 37 |
disturbing to me. |
