I want to follow up on the proposal: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Bcotton/Magazine_Editor_of_the_Week First, an open question: How would we track who the Editor of the Week is? Just in the meeting minutes? On a wiki page? In the docs? With an IRC command (similar to the .oncall command that the infra team uses)? Generally, we should encourage the use of public channels (mailing list/discourse and IRC channel), but there may be a time when it's necessary to contact a person directly. Secondly, someone in last week's meeting (I forget who) expressed concern that it would lead to overburdening and burnout. I can't say that it won't, but the intent is to do the opposite. By defining what the tasks are and assigning them to someone, we give a clear set of responsibility and change the person tasked with that responsibility on a regular basis. Is a week too long? Maybe. It's certainly the most convenient length of time, since the meetings give us a clear handoff point. I don't expect that the load would be too overwhelming to do for a month, particularly because there's an understanding that this is best effort. We could also split it into "first half of the week" and "second half of the week" where the "halfway" point is the meeting. But I think that overcomplicates it. Having spent years on pager duty (including with a physical pager, which was fun), I'm sensitive to the concern, but I think the proposal is a good starting point. We can always adjust (having co-editors of the week with separated responsibilities, shortening it to Editor of the Half Week, etc) if it turns out to be a problem. The other side of the coin is the writers and potential. Burnout isn't the right word here, but something like discouragement. Right now, proposals can sometimes sit for weeks without reply, which discourages writers. By making sure we're actively engaging with new writers and the comments section, we can help keep the community vibrant and healthy.
