That cannot be all. Surely FESCo members need to promise a certain commitment/activity beyond those IRC meetings. For instance, it needs someone to create policy documents or drafts thereof, take over action items, know what can be achieved (infrastructure-wise and possibly only by RH employees), be the liaison man for Core<->Extras coordination, communicate with the community. It is still pretty vague how FESCo works, what sort of members are needed in FESCo, and whether maybe there are only a number of vacant and redundant seats to fill with arbitrary contributors, who give their +1/-1 in IRC meetings. Looking at the current FESCo Schedule page, there are even more items with nobody assigned to them. So, meetings are not everything. > > How is FESCo's contributor community's acceptance measured? > > through a vote from the community No, that can't be true. Look at the last election. It was not possible to vote against individuals. People with less than 50% of the possible votes entered FESCo nevertheless. Btw, with "community acceptance" I mean the community's happiness with what FESCo decides, how/whether FESCo drives things forward, whether pending issues are prioritised in a satisfactory way. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
