The DebConf Chairs are supposed to be leading the team. Leading may mean sometimes taking hard decisions, but most of the time it should mean guiding, working with the team towards achieving consensus and making sure that ideas are heard.
Imposing changes from above without consultation is not leading. The mail says that it's a request for comments, but the changes were already made in the wiki, which is a dissonance with requesting comments. There had been talk of having a sprint to work on this together as a team. I was a bit unsure about the sprint because it's hard to get everyone together in the same place again, but I was hoping we would be able to do a series of IRC meetings that would achieve a similar result as the sprint. This was something that I was about to propose as the old coordination team lead. Now I guess I don't have that job anymore (the page says I'm the lead, but the composition sent in the email doesn't include me, which is a bit confusing, I sincerely don't know where I stand now). I'm glad that at least the DC16 team was consulted on this, but I think the experience of those that participated in the past and that intended to keep working for DC16 an onwards should also have been taken into account and I'm extremely disappointed that that's not what happened. I don't think this is how we should operate. What do the rest of the people that were planning on keeping participating on debconf-team think? -- Besos, Marga _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
