Re: [LAZY CONSENSUS] maintenance of ooo-wiki2-vm.a.o and ooo-forums.a.o

Hi All.

We have now reached the end of the lazy consensus period.

There has been no -1, a couple of comments and a couple of +1, this means
the proposal is accepted.

However, I have to admit, I think we have a big problem.

If I go ahead with the proposal (as lazy consensus suggest), and follow the
idea from Andrea. I would have to remove a large part of the vm team. Only
andrea has reacted at all (with a +1), and according to the idea from
andrea we should revoke the others karma.

Can it really be true, that the current vm team dont want to take if I take
lead ? In that case it would be highly wrong of me to use the lazy
consensus.

I can understand a lot of subscribers to this list, dont care (as long as
the services are available), but given the previous debate (and the focus
on forcing me to forward a new proposal), I would have expected the PMC
group to voice their opinion, and also the current vm team.

We cannot just overrule the current sysadm, that does not feel fair !!

Any thoughts ?

Maybe a bit early to give up. Perhaps they are still a bit in the 
offline mode due to year end/beginning with holidays/vacation.

I would send a reminder and keep it open for another 1-2 weeks.

OK, let's give some more time to the three missing team members (arist, 
imacat, jsc) to answer if they would like to be in the team. The 
deadline you propose (end of February) seems very late, but hopefully 
we'll get feedback from them before it and we'll be able to start 
working earlier than that.

> its not only vacation

This is surely a factor anyway: for example, in Italy traditionally the 
holidays end on January 6th (first working day January 7th) in schools, 
Universities and some public services. But I believed that January 2nd 
would have been a suitable deadline too.

Regards,
   Andrea.

write to the missing team members directly (and dev@ in CC). Maybe it 
makes a difference if they get an extra and personal shove.

I agree timing is an issue, but it has been said we wanted a fast decision.

I have seen nearly all vm members answering other mails in the period, so
its not only vacation, this proposal has in reality now been discussed for
about 3 month.

There was a deadline on the proposal, far longer than 72 hours, to allow us
to act.

However I have no problem extending the deadline, it simply means we
continue with the current setup during that period.

The lazy consensus is extended to 28 february 2014. This allows for any
holidays, release, FOSDEM etc.

Lazy consensus has already been reached, but we need to have the acceptance
of the current (or a new) vm team, since its not adviceable that I work
alone.

The problem is timing.  Quite a few people are still on holiday and
will not return until next week.  In fact this whole thing has been
discussed in a time when several people were away.
