I think if you're making decisions that aren't recorded then how does that get communicated to the board if there are no formalisms? Granted, I think most of those decisions that are made on irc are fairly pedestrian and is not particularly worth nothing - but without some formalism you have no framework on what is of interest and what isn't, no? Regarding "what is GNOME?" - this always ended up being more political in the past because invariable people are interested in the branding as being core means that we have a different set of expectations. Changes made to the buildstream configs - is there a process there given that it could be political? sri _______________________________________________ release-team@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team Release-team lurker?
