A Transition Plan

[Dave Hall]

Hi all,

I know some people on the list would like to see drastic actions being
taken to change/fix/revive/whatever the LoCo.  I think now is the time
for cool heads and respectful discussion.

I would propose that for the time being Melissa remain as team contact.
I would also propose that Peter Baker (aka jellyware) become a co team
contact (or whatever the title is).  Peter's role would be to work with
Melissa and the community to develop consensus around a new plan for the
LoCo.

I am proposing Peter as he has been around the LoCo for a long time.  He
is also a computerbank committee member, so he has some knowledge about
how FOSS groups work.  He has also been active around LUV and SFD, while
also running ubuntu.net.au.  In my experience Peter has always been a
model of how to live by the code of conduct in the ubuntu community.
Unless things have changed in the last 6 months or so, Peter is not a
power user, but he is a passionate user of ubuntu.

I think that Peter is the best person to bring the group together, while
Melissa has the experience to stop us making the same mistakes again.  I
thin the 2 of them would make a great time to move us forward.  Keep in
mind this is an interim arrangement.

I think the first role of the new team should be to facilitate a
discussion on the direction and objectives of the group, to be followed
by how to structure the group.

Cheers

Dave
