Council members expressed different +opinions on this. No vote was taken. + +Games team policies +=================== +The discussion focussed upon two issues, namely that the games team +allegedly tries to enforce policies on packages that they are not +maintaining, and that they have not responded to some requests for +joining their team. + +The following decisions were taken: + +- Motion: "Every developer is allowed to commit and maintain games + ebuilds, without the need to ask for permission or review from the + games team. The games team does not have authority to override + maintainer decisions on packages they don't maintain." + Accepted unanimously. + Note: This should be understood as clarification of existing policy. + +- There is consensus amongst council members that specific policies + (e.g., games group, /usr/games hierarchy, and games.eclass) should + be settled by the QA team. + +- Motion: "The council encourages the games team to accept join + requests and elect a lead. In the event they don't elect a lead + within 6 weeks, we will consider the team as dysfunctional and thus + disband it." + Accepted with 6 yes votes and 1 abstention. + +- Motion: "The council appoints radhermit as the interim lead of games + until the elections are held." + Accepted with 4 yes votes and 3 abstentions. + +At this point the meeting was adjourned. The council will continue +with the remaining topics in two weeks. + +Next meeting date +================= +Tuesday, 26 Aug 2014, 19:00 UTC + + +[1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.project/3916 +[2] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.project/3918 +[3] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.project/3919 +[4] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.project/3943 +[5] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.project/4002 +[6] https://bugs.gentoo.org/424647 +[7] https://bugs.gentoo.org/477030 +[8] https://bugs.gentoo.org/503382 |
