Ubuntu-cy - Some more suggestions

As mentioned in the forums, I must say that the anarchy has actually
proven to be working ;)

We're all equal, and I will have to admit that I'm not the guy that
can run this team alone. I can't say that I like the idea of having a
president, but we need some members to represent us or parts of the
ubuntu-cy team, therefore we need a TEAM!

I will never use the word "decision" from now on, until the
suggestions have been confirmed by others. In case of different
opinions, the majority will rule :) We're a community, so let's keep
it that way.

So I've come to a few basic solutions (for now, until we get more active):
- The ubuntu-cy team will consist of the people that manage each department.
In short, we need a council, the "managers" of each department. They
will manage decisions such as date/time/place of release parties and
presentations.

- All the members of the team will have the ability to vote on notable
important changes, for example date and time of party release.
If the community gets big, some decisions might be overtaken to be
voted from just the ubuntu-cy council.
We have to ignore this rule until we have the loco team organized - go
nuts in doing stuff, wooo!! :)

- ALL departments work together, they all report to each what they are
doing or doing public announcements to the mailing list, forum or news
on the website.
In cases of important emergency (i.e. security updates), you do what
you have to do, then report back.

- Break the team to departments, each person or persons of the
ubuntu-cy council must actively take care at least one part of the
ubuntu-cy project:

a) mailing list administrator - It's a low-profile job and the
software is a piece of cake.
If a person would like to take care of this in the future, they would
have to know regular expressions (for spam problems).
If the mailing list becomes too big for a couple of persons, we can
assign moderators.
(I could keep this one since it's easy to handle)

b) wiki page - keeping it updated and organized, filing monthly reports
This would require a lot of work, especially reading and summing up.
The person must fluent speak 2 out of 3 languages: english, greek or
turkish

c) IRC team - for the irc-related participation
Internet relay chat is the instant solution to solving problems
instantly, without the need of emails or posts.
We need a list of members that want to take care of the channel
We also need activity first, so join me at network Freenode, server
irc.ubuntu.com channel #ubuntu-cy - or irc://irc.ubuntu.com/#ubuntu-cy

d) Spokesperson(s) - for the local media
The person must fluent speak 2 out of 3 languages: english, greek or
turkish (student lawyers, philosophers, teachers, professors?)

e) Representative(s) to ubuntu-locoteams
This will require the person to join the channel #ubuntu-locoteams and
their mailing list, taking care of matters such as getting the CDs for
 the release parties, reporting to the mailing list about release
parties etc.

f) Launchpad team
If this gets big, we can break to translations, bug
triagers/reporters, answers and code team.

g) Projects team
They would have to track down the projects and supervise the projects,
give reports as to how the projects are going on to the ubuntu-cy
council.
One person of each project should make it to the ubuntu-cy council.

Thoughts? :)
