That's still a discussion, where views and directions are given. No strict decision. Because I'm a board member does not mean that everything I say in any discussion is a de-facto board view/decision (thankfully). It can hint about what my views are and how I would express them in a board meeting; but it doesn't mean that this will necessarily be what I'll vote for either. > Are you saying that the members of the council that posted here in this > thread would give a different answer if I contacted them formally (how?) > as members of the council? Not necessarily, but it can happen. As a reminder: - council meeting/decisions are made by team representatives, that express their team's views; - board meeting/decisions are made by board members, that express their own views, with consideration given to the council (hence teams) and community views at large + project objectives & means. That does not prevent individual members of each, out of these instances, to express their own views, without these having the force of a rule at once (again, thankfully). > I have no problem co-maintaining the package (with regards to the devel > side of it) but I'm not aware of any formal procedure to take maintenance > of a package. > Is there such a procedure formalized somewhere? See that with your mentor. Romain
