Hello Andre, I have some good news, and some bad news. First the bad, you are a vocal minority and the cause of the loco losing its status. The good news, your voice is as good as anyones.
If I were you, I would go make sure the agenda is relevant to you, attend the meeting, try and get a team leadership structure consensus and a method of nomination and vote. It sounds like you don't want one person to pick the team, fair enough. On 14/05/2010, at 6:06 PM, Andre Mangan wrote: > Hello Melissa, > > I have been a part of this mailing list since 2005.

There really should be several. There are a number of teams with multiple contacts.

I might be totally wrong on this, but I believe the first LUG meeting jdub ever went to, he was elected president. Too lazy to fact check, though. If the team can't come to a consensus in a reasonable time frame, escalate it to Jono. -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
