Hi, Since no one else wanted the job, I hereby assume the role of Benevolent Dictator for the P5EE project.
Other titles might be * Pumpking of Last Resort (I will pick up a ball and run with it if no one else will, or I may decide that the ball needs to lie just where it was dropped) * Decider of the Woodshed Color (so that the community does not get deadlocked on little things that) * Coordinator of Consensus and Facilitator of the Artful Compromise (unity and a Single P5EE really is the goal, but this must be fashioned over time out of the realities of diversity and flexibility. E pluribus unum.) * Initiator of Grand Ideas (someone's got to be stupid enough to claim that Perl could rule the world) * Just Another Perl Hacker (JAPH's will drive the process forward, not the BD. I intend to be JAPH, hoping that the whole will be greater than the sum of its parts.) * Benefactor of the Good Work of Others (The real stars of P5EE will always be the people who get things done.) * Governor of the Governable (only the willingness of those who wish to participate in a community will give the community's leadership any ability to get anything done.) I assume that at least * Brian Moseley * Chris Winters * Gunther Birznieks are on board with this, seeing as they showed support for this already on the mailing list. There are two important organizational steps I want to initiate now, and I will send them in separate emails so they get their own threads in the discussion archive. Stephen
