I must say, I'm a bit surprised by the discussion around the voting process and the candidates.
First, we've been complaining about lack of core devs for a long time. Now we have two great candidates with proven track record of contributing to Python and people complain again. As a small group, we need to attract more capable people and such push back is not a very productive way of doing so. Second, as in any vote, no one should feel pushed to comment or even argue for his or her opinion on a candidate. People nominating a candidate are the ones who need to write this up, but not the other group members. A vote to accept someone to a group is a personal opinion and should be respected as such. If people feel they need more guidance, they should ask the ones who nominated the candidates - in public or in private. Because the candidates themselves cannot comment (at least not on this list; don't know about discourse), such discussions have to be moderated by the nominating parties with care. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Experts (#1, Mar 25 2019) >>> Python Projects, Coaching and Consulting ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> Python Database Interfaces ... http://products.egenix.com/ >>> Plone/Zope Database Interfaces ... http://zope.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: We implement business ideas - efficiently in both time and costs ::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
