I understand why you wonder I started this thread.
> Ruben has to decide who, if anybody, his successor will be.
I didn't mean Santi become his successor. I meant Ruben *can* give him enough
privilege to take the necessary steps while he is absent.
This is Santi's post on developers mailing list on April 24 [1]:
> Right now, we are waiting for Quidam to release the flidas repositories
needed to do a basic debootstrap, the first step needed to add the new
release to our jenkins instance, so everyone can start working on it.
So, we are waiting for Ruben to start the development of Trisquel 8. It has
been delayed solely because he is absent.
> It is not our decision, and Ruben is not asking for our advice.
I think Ruben does not act in this way. He might have been busy but I have
never heard him trying to shut the community up.
> If you simply cannot wait for Trisquel 8, nothing is stopping you from
developing your own distro!
I don't want to fall into the trap of starting a new GNU/Linux distro.
Trisquel GNU/Linux exist and I prefer it.
> how can one decide such a thing? it is something that needs be talked
between the two of them.
I'm trying to get the opinions within the Trisquel community.
> So at that rate we would be waiting at least until early 2017.
I'm trying to push the project forward to release it sooner. Just waiting for
the new release to come out is easy.
