Thanks - but no need to apologise - we are all volunteers, go missing
sometimes, and we can't expect others to be perfect! :-)

As the 21st is a Sunday, I am more flexible. European afternoon/evening
also best for me, although there is probably something I am supposed to
be doing that I have forgotten :-) If whoever has the tightest schedule
sets a time, I will try and be there.

Just in case, I will post some thoughts here for people to digest before
then:
I think it has been said before, but I think we should move to something
like the Xubuntu Council:
https://xubuntu.org/news/introducing-xubuntu-council/
This could be achieved by adding the current (semi?)active members to
the core team on launchpad (volunteer basis). Then there is always a
group of people with the keys to run things in Launchpad if required
(when the responsible person is too busy). The terms should be set to
expire (can be done in launchpad I believe - make sure the admin role is
not about to expire) on an overlapping basis (ie. not all at once) with
the possibility of re-election. We could rotate a
leader/chair/contact-point from the core team every release (or year, or
LTS), unless someone violently objects to letting go, and hold elections
to encourage fresh input when core team membership terms expire.

In any case, we should probably put out an email on users list, and blog
on the website, asking for volunteers to step forward for roles in the
team (including those already filled) for this release.

Note: I have started on some blueprints for this release, but only done
mine so far, and intend to work on Len's suggestions (a longer list)
this week.

[ubuntu-studio-devel] Where to start?

2017-05-14 Thread Set Hallstrom
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256

Probably with an apology: A sincere one.
Although spontaneously, i'd like to congratulate you all for the 10th
release of Ubuntu Studio!

You made it without me! <3 As you've all respectfully and silently
been able to observe: i cannot lead this project. And I'm probably not
going to be in a foreseeable future. I'm sorry for that, among other
things.

I have very limited amount of time, but i suppose we'd need to talk
technicalities with permissions in launchpad and such as soon as
possible. Can we meet-up on IRC on the 21st of May? Not sure what time
would be the best, but I will follow up on this thread.

I can't speak much of the state of things or the community, because i
have no idea: My backlog is crumbling, covered in dust and my life
doesn't look like it did 8 months ago. I suppose a big thank-you!! to
those who pulled the work load of 17.04 is in place. I owe you beers,
juices and gratitude.

Yours,
