Sirko it's not Jiri's opinion, we had a CommOps brainstorming session at
Flock and we discussed many topics, also The FOSCo thing, which actually
didn't move forward indeed ;(
FAmSCo agreed already about a new composition of FOSCo, with some regional
appointed members and other elected members, but it never started and it
seems there is no plan to work on it immediately.
The actual FAmSCo members agreed also to continue serving the Steering
Committee until FOSCo would have taken over its mission (and some tasks
more), but we are going towards the end of F23 release cycle and all
members started with F20 and F21 cycle (June 2013), which normally is the
time of nearly 5 release cycles (F21 cycle was a year).
We discussed this point very clearly, also because actally FAmSCo is not
able to take decisions easily due to the quorum. So as a compromise to make
things happen again at least for ambassadors, we agreed to make new
elections for the F24 (and F25) release cycle to have fresh blood and new
ideas, in the meanwhile we can work on FOSCo with less pressure. Nobody
said we don't want it and Matthew's idea is bad, I think we have so many
new things on the table FOSCo just needs more time to see the light.
Kind regards.
