I'd like to see (N-M) candidates continue with TC by helping support M. Personally, I plan on participating more in TC office hours regardless of results. Or even reach out to TC and ask what non-TC members could do to help TC more. Once thing I've noticed in the question period before elections was 'What more could the TC do'. I think it is also valid that we look at it the other way around as 'What more could the non-TC member do' like Amrith asks above. > Question 2: > > "If you are one of the M elected candidates, the N-M candidates who > were not elected represent a resource? > > Would you look to leverage/exploit that resource, and if so, how? > (concrete examples would be good)" > Yah, I'd love to see 'pair programming' style for TC and non-TC memeber. Clearly we have interested parties in becoming TC, and I would think the N-M candidates would also try running again in 6 months. So why not help those N-M member become M, just like we do for non-core / core members on OpenStack projects. > -amrith > > __________________________________________________________________________ > OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) > Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe > http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
