Hi Env & Stacks Working Group,
during the Nomination period of the Nov/Dec 2015 Fedora Elections,
this working group has not got enough nominees to cover all the open
seats. We have currently 4 open seats but only 2 nominees [1].
I would like to agree on a plan, how to deal with this situation.
From my point of view there might be two solutions:
1) On an internal mailing list in RedHat I have seen some comments
about handover of responsibilities from Env&Stacks WG to other teams
(like Atomic, Cloud, etc.). If this is the case, the WG might revisit
its purpose and adapt the resources to it, so the Elections will not
be needed.
2) Another solution might be to organize the elections once more after
some internal gaining in the Env&Stacks WG, to raise awareness of
people about the work this WG is doing.
I am open for any other ideas, helping to solve the current situation.
Please comment.
These were my comments previously:
Maybe the problem with not a lot of nominations is that no one knows
what Env & Stacks really does? When I talk with a lot of people their
opinion is that it is mostly a talking versus doing group. It doesn't
have any "power", it doesn't have any real "responsibility", and
it
doesn't have a known scope.
Now those may all be false assumptions, but those are the ones that I
see on IRC from people. Maybe explaining clearly what the group really
does, really has scope over and what it is supposed to deliver may get
people interested in it?
Looking through the history of the list.. there are 2 people who post
regularly to this list: Jan and Honza with no others posting since
maybe June or August. I don't know the exact number of people on the
list, but that would indicate that most people are working on these
problems in other locations.. possibly other Fedora lists and
definitely other CentOS lists. With that being the case, are there
reasons for keeping this group?
