Further assume there are 13 nominees prior to the next election. If 60% of the voters from the community didn't want member X in FESCo, what could they do if the old voting scheme was still in place? > > For many decisions, FESCo's +1/-1 style votings are not even needed. > > They just add overhead. > > Example?

Assume I return from a four weeks vacation. How am I supposed to learn what important things FESCO has decided on during that time and also learn who from FESCo decided how? I see phrases like "voted down" and "vetoed", but the details are hidden like a needle in a haystack. And no, you don't want your contributors to skim over four meeting minutes in search of anything relevant which is burried beneath "ongoing" action items. So, a split between relevant decisions and normal FESCo chat stuff would be much appreciated. Further, one reason I stepped down from FESCo, inspite of a sufficient number of votes, is that I felt I had been absent from too many meetings. Hence my interest in whether current FESCo members attend meetings more often, and if not, whether they actively pursue Fedora Extras' goals or what else they do. In recent meeting minutes the active members are listed by name, missing members are not. -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
