True to my message of May, I hereby appoint myself as interim Executive Director and chairman of the Committee on Evolution of Squeak, acting until, say, June 1.
Hurray! Gotta love these variants on the concept of democracy ;-).
Democracy has its good and bad points. Rapid process is seldom given as one of its strengths.
So far no criticisms - let's get stuff rolling. I'd appreciate it, though, if y'all would (re-)read the stuff on the Swiki on the chaordic process and maybe a bit of the ramblings in the mailing list archives from last summer (May/June, IIRC). Even though the formation process was stopped by the SqC events back then, I think there is a lot of useful context in there.
I agree.
I hope it's clear that all I'm trying to do is decouple the time for a jump-start from the time needed for due process, chaordic or not. I know it isn't democratic, but think of it as XP -- we get to test during development ;-).
As for my self-declared term of 5 months, if there's consensus on a better structure or different bindings before June 1, I'll be happy to go with it.
