That there's no chance at all in actually implementing this sort of structure with a the people on this list. This is great from a corporate level but it ain't gonna work for this team. Best way forward is about 3-5 core people who wear a couple of hats. With 1 person as the lead. Which is really someone with a vision and coordination skills who also trusts and can rely on the rest of the core. The core must be made up of people who can get things done. People of action. So who thinks they fit that bill? Who can dedicate the time to getting things done? Do you have the skills needed? To me, once we have the people to actually "do" something, then they can decide on what to do. They will draft the plans, then the people watching can decide if they want to get involved. -Cory K. \m/ -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
