To be honest, that's something we (myself as a member of the Board, and Ryan) have been discussing over the past couple of weeks. I would think that it does need to be discussed, but I don't think that I agree with Ryan's assertion that a "technical board" is needed. I poked holes in his proposal, and I'm sure we'll discuss it more in private before putting the results forward for discussion within the community. > * I presume that your candidacy is an attempt to gain a mandate for the > changes you are proposing, yet I wonder whether it will count for much > without the support of the release team and maintainers.

I would hope it doesn't give a mandate, as the proposals seem hazy at best right now. > * Following on from the above: do you think that you personally need to > be on the board for these changes to take place?

I'd also be interested in knowing that :) Cheers _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
