Ken Causey and I have asked Daniel whether he's willing to serve as team leader. I'll let Daniel post his thoughts about it. I think he's a good choice.
Just a dumb question. We've just given the Squeak community a process to allow it to select the people who will lead it. That process was agreed after considerable discussion. We have the bootstrapping question of how the elections team itself is constituted - who's in it, who leads it. Is this the most appropriate way of selecting the leader of this team?
I don't think its a dumb question at all. Do we have any candidates from within the team? If other candidates present themselves, I certainly don't mind having a CIVS election for the role.
I also agree that the question is not "dumb", especially not for this particular team given its nature - but do recall that the current Team model says that the assignment of team leaders is formally done by the board: http://www.squeak.org/Community/Teams/
IMHO it is one of the most important jobs of the board and having a general election mechanism for that seems to me.... not optimal.
