I agree.
Since the listed "leaders" (including me) are only a small group of
people who initially started this community, it's also important to know
the opinions of those many who joined later. It would be nice if there's
no objection from anyone.

The driver-discuss community is currently at risk because it has not
identified any Core Contributors. From the OGB perspective, this
makes the group look like it is inactive, and it also means that the
group has no voting representation.
We need to correct this by identifying at minimum 3 Core
Contributors. We can also identify additional Contributors and Core
Contributors.
Core Contributors are distinct in that they have voting privileges,
and they really should represent the interests of the group. I think
it is very important that Core Contributors be "in tune" with the
community, by participating on driver-discuss. Just committing code
into Nevada (or any other consolidation) should probably not entitle
you to Core Contributor status, by itself. Of course, it would be
nice if they also have some contributions for which they are well
known in the community.
We are also supposed to have some process by which Core Contributors
and Contributors are granted.
I'm going to propose the following simple process, for now:
Identify as "Participants" the union of people who are identified as
either Core Contributors for the Device Drivers Community, or as
Community Leaders for the Device.
Any person who agrees and is nominated by a Participant and seconded
by at least two other Participants, with no objecting Participants
shall be considered a Core Contributor. Any person who agrees and
is nominated by a Participant and seconded by another shall be
considered a Contributor. Self nomination or seconding is allowed.
If there are objectors, then a full majority of Core Contributors
(and not less than 2) can overrule the objector(s).
Of course, we have to have a process to approve this rule, so I'm
going to ask for a simple majority of *responding* Participants (the
Leaders, identified momentarily) to approve the above policy. (This
means that if you don't participate, your lack of participation can't
hold up the vote!) The main thing is to get this thing bootstrapped
for now. Once we have Core Contributors identified, we can change it
again later.
So, to those who are on the leaders list (because we have no Core
Contributors as yet), do you approve the process? (Yes? No? Abstain?)
Please respond to [email protected], so everyone knows
who voted and who did not. (I'm not sending this to people not on
driver-discuss, because, by my reckoning, such people aren't active in
the community and therefore probably shouldn't have their votes
considered.)
The list of Community Leaders is:
Riny Qian
Colin Zou
James C. Liu
Kevin X. Song
Garrett D'Amore
Max Bruning
Lu Yun-Song (Roamer)
Masayuki Murayama
Rui Wang (Vincent)
Alta Elstad
Javen Wu
Oliver Yang
Alan DuBoff
