I'm not so sure what you're getting at below. What triggered your e-mail? > Wow. New Chair without any community notifications or feedback?? Uhm, notification should probably happen after the fact. What kinda feedback are you invisioning? > Is that a good "community building" attitude? Uhm. Well. I don't see how the VP position has anything to do with community building. Communities are for building themselves. Basically the only thing the VP does is report on that to the board every few months. > Shouldn't the community at least be consulted? What would the community say? Why? What should be done with that feedback? > (Not implying that I am against Aaron as Chair nor that a wider community > would have any feedback on it.) I'd hope any feedback would be positive! Now, it might be true that in the general case it could make sense to be more public about this discussion. I apologize if anyone feels left out in any way. In this particular case, I just didn't think about it that much and raised this on the PMC list. Basically we had a round of nominations (one candidate), then a round of votes (no -1s), and voila. I doubt that having those discussions in public would've changed the outcome. The only thing that might've happened is some discussions about the relative merits of people in public, which is not something I'm in favor of.
