phase 3b: more or less at the same time, antonio steps up as RM

irritated by the rising tension and unfriendly undertone of the
discussion and wanted to shut people down for a while.
Not exactly... I stepped up for this reasons:
1. I don't want to see committers beign worried to do a release. I think
we should allow everybody to focus on what they do the best.
2. I will it for the Lenya health. As Ross pointed out: "Without
releases the community will die - no release = no new users = no new
devs = no no committers = no new releases."
3. To have the job done.
4. To show up that there is peer recognition for the RM position.
I though I will need to do a release at the best case every 2 months. I
hope this cannot be too dificult. ;-)
I will like to add, we (Michi, Torsten and I) know each other F2F. I
don't feel any tension between the mail exchange. We only have a
different Point of view. While michi wants to add a new responsability
to the committer status, other of us don't see the need for it. ;-)
phase 4: everybody is happy except michi, which is understandable,
since his original point had been completely lost. however, the latest
mails on that topic seem profoundly non-relaxed and it's hard for me
to extract the important points among all the heat.
Welcome to the Open Source "politics". ;-)
now, could everyone involved get themselves a coffee and some fresh air?
antonio is willing to start with the job, that takes a lot of the
pressure away. with some time gained thus, why not just discuss and
eventually vote on linking committer status with the willingness to do
a release?
Yep. I think we should start a vote asking people if they want to have
this new rule on the community: "do release when needed or retire".
shutting up now,
Please, don't. Thanks for your comments. It was a nice summary.
Best Regards,
Antonio Gallardo.
