Hi, this is maybe a bit off-topic here, but as the notion of "hats" have become quite popular in Debian in the last two years or so, I want to comment on this.

(For them, but usually this is what matters.) And this is exactly the problem I have with "hats". The concept is good, we all have different roles in our lives and it's good that/if each of us is aware of this. But as the concept of hats is virtual (you only imagine you wwear different hats!), too many people too often forget, to make these virtual hat-changes visible in reality. And some hats are (more or less) incompatible which each other, or at least cause problems. The idea that one just can change hats as needed, hides this. (But except for the secretary role I don't see any other role in Debian, where the DPL hat is incompatible with the secretary hat.) regards, Holger P.S.: Please reply to -project only, -vote will have enough volume these days anyway :)
