Hi all! The EPEL Steering Committee's mandate for leading EPEL was time-limited by FESCo until end of September this year. Well, we are getting closer to that date now, so we IMHO should start to discuss how to move on. So if you are a EPEL contributor: what do you want? Do you want to elect a EPEL Steering Committee? Do you want a bigger or a smaller one? Do you want to get rid of it? If you are a member of the new FESCo: What do you guys want? Just extend the mandate by another six months or maybe a whole year? Or get rid or EPEL and make it a real project independently running and managed from FESCo (which it does mostly already)? /me put EPEL Steering Committee Chair hat aside now and expresses his own opinions on the questions from above - I'm fine with having a election of the Steering Committee, but it IMHO doesn't make much sense -- it's likely that the number of candidates is much bigger then the seats (just as it was during the FESCo election). - the size is fine; if people want to get more involved then the EPEL Steering Committee IMHO should dynamically adjust it's own size and get more people aboard, if those people want to get involved and are active on the list and in the meetings - as much as I'd like to get rid of the Steering Committee -- it or something like it is needed to coordinate the work, as otherwise chaos would arise. But we IMHO nevertheless should try to lower the influence of the EPEL Steering Committee and try to get more work done by people who want something done, even if they are not in the Steering Committee. - I think FESCo should extend the mandate by one year. Then we can discuss again if it makes sense to make EPEL a real project that reports directly to the Board and not to FESCo.
