I agree with both Shane and Sense, the idea behind the Ubuntu QA team (as in, the Launchpad team) was to more clearly represent these who made major contributions to one of the sub-teams (testing, bugsquad, bugcontrol), helps managing that community (ISO testing, bug triaging, automation, ...) and is often present on IRC, ML and during the meetings to discuss QA issues. I still think that this role is important and that it helps people know who to contact when they want to help and who's actively promoting QA in Ubuntu. Making it non-moderated will likely end up with all of bugsquad + bugcontrol + testing joining it, making the list grow to a few hundreds and having the team completely loose its goal with the likely ending of it not being used. That's just my opinion, I wasn't at the meeting today (clash with my Lunch time, sorry) and can easily understand that some will have completely different opinions. - -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAktX0H8ACgkQjxyfqkjBhux6WQCfcfo9FrgBOja3JDgWrDt8m4J5 xOIAn3FT8TTSBBAa23Ri5ZBdKNx9aWLv =LCSi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Ubuntu-qa mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-qa
