Hi everyone, After some further thought and spending quite a bit of time re-reading the discussion on a few threads, I now believe that my request to be on the steering council might be creating more trouble than it's worth. Nothing matters to me more than seeing NumPy continue to grow and improve.
So, I'm switching my position to supporting the adoption of the governance model outlined and just contributing as I can outside the steering council. The people on the steering council are committed to the success of NumPy and will do a great job --- they already have in contributing to the community over the past year(s). We can always revisit the question in a year if difficulties arise with the model. If my voice and other strong voices remain outside the council, perhaps we can all encourage that the intended community governance of NumPy does in fact happen, and most decisions continue to be made in the open. I had the pleasure last night of meeting one of the new NumPy core contributors, Allan Haldane. This only underscored my confidence in everyone who is contributing to NumPy today. This confidence has already been established by watching the great contributions of many talented developers who have given their time and talents to the project over the past several years. I hope that we can move on from the governance discussion and continue to promote the success of the project together. Best, -Travis
