Dear DebConf team,
following up past discussions about delegations, call for volunteers,
and call for comments, I hereby propose to you the *draft* delegation
for DebConf "chairs".
-- DRAFT ------------ DRAFT ------------ DRAFT --------- DRAFT -----
I hereby delegate the following people as "DebConf chairs":
- Holger Levsen <holger>
- Moray Allan <moray>
- Gunnar Wolf <gwolf>
The main responsibility of the DebConf chairs is to act as a liaison
between the Debian Project and the DebConf organization. In that
capacity, the chairs will be responsible to the Project for the
organization of DebConf and how Debian resources (e.g. money, but also
the "Debian" name) are used to that end.
DebConf organization itself does not need to change in response to this
new delegation and the informal DebConf team is free, as it has always
been, to establishing its own structures and decision mechanisms. The
chairs are expected to help the team to establishing those things and to
break decision ties if and when they occur.
--- DRAFT --------- DRAFT ----------- DRAFT ---------- DRAFT -------
The text says it all already, the role if of responsibility to the
Debian Project, of (meta-)coordination, and for breaking decision ties
which hopefully will be rare.
I welcome comment on this and on how you think it will impact with other
governance discussions which have been going on this list. It is my hope
that the impact will be minimal and it will only add the needed
accountability of DebConf to the Debian Project.
I'd like to proceed early next week on this so I'd appreciate comments
during the week-end, early next week.
Cheers.
