If you are really doing a good job it's going to be work studying issues and you are going to have to deal with things not always going your way. I don't think there is a problem with people doing one term and then returning back to being a normal community member. I'd rather see a series of people with fresh ideas and wanting to get something done, then people who are burnt out trudging on just cause. _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
