Re: TSG for CSSU?

I have sometimes seen the project get delayed because MohammedAG is temporarily unavailable, and that there is uncertainty or lack of input over how some decisions get made, etc. What did MohammadAG say to this proposal? He was the only person who stepped up to do this, and has since been joined by merlin1991 et al. The Community Council are a facilitating body, rather than an owning body, so it's in your remit to assist MAG in this, if he's asked for help. But I don't think you have the power for a hostile takeover, which is why I'm asking. Of course, the CSSU could always be forked - but that's dependent on having someone to do the work. It's doers that Maemo, and the CSSU is missing, not people to sit by the sidelines and direct. For example, the stable branch came out because someone was willing to put in the work to define how it should be created, how it should be managed and then to do that. Many people *said* there should be a stable Maemo 5 CSSU, but if someone isn't willing to help with the work, so what? What would the CSSU TSG do? Can you give concrete examples? As a *technical* steering, how would candidates' eligibility be established so that a sensible and consistent set of architectural decisions would be made?

This is a good point. It needs to be easier to adopt unmaintained packages. Agreed, but this is a case of designing and proposing a process. It has nothing to do with supertesters, AFAICT.

[ANN] gst-dsp 0.10.2 released
Hi, This is basically a brown-paper-bag release since the previous one is totally broken (if you use DSP_API=2, which you should). Also, a few fixes from the Maemo 6 branch, and some fixes for old versions of the JPEG encoder (which is the only one that works from the public release), and a fix for a regression in video call. You can download the tarball from the usual place: http://code.google.com/p/gst-dsp/downloads/list Cheers.
