IMHO, a project lead should be one who contributes code and packages to OI. Otherwise, the project lead is just an expendable figure head with no real purpose. In order to set a release schedule, and so on, you have to be intimately familiar with the code that is being released. Before this discussion devolves into a governance orgy, I think that all we really need is people who write code, and make it publicly available, in a roughly synchronized way. We should have a network of developers. Not a hierarchy. > no one else suitable. Just some food for thought I guess.

I think a de facto project leader will emerge from the ranks of programmers pretty much automatically. Most likely it will be the programmer that has had or is having the most profound impact on the OI project. But that's just my theory. > > Regards > > Chris Jones > > > _______________________________________________ > oi-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
