Well, nothing prevents anyone from nominating themselves or someone else; FESCo only needs to discuss and vote. I don't recall any nominations recently.

I always point out people who deserve to be made sponsors when I notice them or when they are brought to my attention. Some of that was driven by the status reports which unfortunately haven't been generated lately, and that's definitely an item for FESCo to consider post haste. I guess we could add a standing item to the schedule to discuss new sponsor nominations; we used to have one and I'm not sure where it went. Unfortunately the community isn't stepping up with nominations, and the discussion will be pretty short unless that changes.

FESCo generally runs sponsor nominations by the existing sponsors to get additional input. But again, nothing prevents any existing community member (existing sponsors included!) from pointing out someone who should be made a sponsor. Honestly, I think this is something the sponsors should really be doing, rather than FESCo. Should any of the people you've sponsored be considered for sponsor status? Here are three action items I propose for Thursday's FESCo meeting: 1) Investigate the status reports; try to get them run at least once a month. 2) Investigate ways to make it easier to figure out who a particular sponsor has sponsored; I need to periodically look over my "flock" but I've unfortunately lost track and it's no longer simple to recreate that data. 3) Get a general discussion item about sponsors on the agenda at least once per month. - J< -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
