Philip, is this your personal view or are your representing the board in this? In the start post Richard wrote: "The TSC is not self electing so we're going to hand this issue over to the board at this point to determine the way forward." I have not seen any communication from the board on this (but of course there is always the chance I missed it, most days oe+poky+yocto email seem to be > 100 mails), unless your mail is on behalf of the board. I feel the board has a responsibility on stating the procedure that will be followed on this. I see people putting themselves forward as candidates, but I have not even seen a call for candidates, or a period during which people can candidate themselves, or any indication on how they will be selected. And while I agree that we need a team to work on the oe <-> yocto cooperation (or maybe collaboration is a better word), but a team that is chosen by the community is much more empowered to make decisions. Wrt the TSC term: from the oedem 2010 minutes: "- January 7th 2010 TSC meeting minutes mentions the yearly TSC re-election." It might e a good idea move to a longer term and staggered election. (e.g. half of the TSC stepping down in a year). I feel we can have this discussion also at a later time.
