Just to make things more interesting it's been pointed out that there is some confusion as to whether or not we have a team lead or a Point of Contact. Having dug through the history a bit, back in the early days of UUK we had a Team Leader, but just before Popey took the reigns this was turned into the role of a Point of Contact, however reading though the IRC conversation it wasn't actually clear if the role of Team Leader was being replaced or appended too.
Based on this there has been some discussion as to what we should now do. As far as I can tell there are 3 ways we can proceed. 1. Keep the current uncertainty for now and decide what to do when Alan Bell decides to step down 2. Decide which role we want to put Alan Bell in now 3. Decide what role we want and change the role at the end of Alan Bells tenure Personally I'd go with item 2, as it will lead to less uncertainty and make the role mean something now. I've started a list of pro's and con's of various ways of defining the role, if people want to have a read thorugh this and add/amend to it that would be aces. http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/WhatTypeOfLeadership If we can start the discussion now, then I would recommend we put all of this to a vote at the next meeting. I know politics is boring.... but we need to do this really. Thanks for reading. -Matt Daubney (and if I have to do this again I promise there will be Ninja's, Pirates and maybe some mild peril!)
