As mentioned in the forums, I must say that the anarchy has actually proven to be working ;)
We're all equal, and I will have to admit that I'm not the guy that can run this team alone. I can't say that I like the idea of having a president, but we need some members to represent us or parts of the ubuntu-cy team, therefore we need a TEAM! I will never use the word "decision" from now on, until the suggestions have been confirmed by others. In case of different opinions, the majority will rule :) We're a community, so let's keep it that way. So I've come to a few basic solutions (for now, until we get more active): - The ubuntu-cy team will consist of the people that manage each department. In short, we need a council, the "managers" of each department. They will manage decisions such as date/time/place of release parties and presentations. - All the members of the team will have the ability to vote on notable important changes, for example date and time of party release. If the community gets big, some decisions might be overtaken to be voted from just the ubuntu-cy council. We have to ignore this rule until we have the loco team organized - go nuts in doing stuff, wooo!! :) - ALL departments work together, they all report to each what they are doing or doing public announcements to the mailing list, forum or news on the website. In cases of important emergency (i.e. security updates), you do what you have to do, then report back. - Break the team to departments, each person or persons of the ubuntu-cy council must actively take care at least one part of the ubuntu-cy project: a) mailing list administrator - It's a low-profile job and the software is a piece of cake. If a person would like to take care of this in the future, they would have to know regular expressions (for spam problems). If the mailing list becomes too big for a couple of persons, we can assign moderators. (I could keep this one since it's easy to handle) b) wiki page - keeping it updated and organized, filing monthly reports This would require a lot of work, especially reading and summing up. The person must fluent speak 2 out of 3 languages: english, greek or turkish c) IRC team - for the irc-related participation Internet relay chat is the instant solution to solving problems instantly, without the need of emails or posts. We need a list of members that want to take care of the channel We also need activity first, so join me at network Freenode, server irc.ubuntu.com channel #ubuntu-cy - or irc://irc.ubuntu.com/#ubuntu-cy d) Spokesperson(s) - for the local media The person must fluent speak 2 out of 3 languages: english, greek or turkish (student lawyers, philosophers, teachers, professors?) e) Representative(s) to ubuntu-locoteams This will require the person to join the channel #ubuntu-locoteams and their mailing list, taking care of matters such as getting the CDs for the release parties, reporting to the mailing list about release parties etc. f) Launchpad team If this gets big, we can break to translations, bug triagers/reporters, answers and code team. g) Projects team They would have to track down the projects and supervise the projects, give reports as to how the projects are going on to the ubuntu-cy council. One person of each project should make it to the ubuntu-cy council.
