Given some of the difficulties we've had recently with planning
and
getting releases pulled together, I'd like to propose we have a new role
in the Project.
Project Manager
Responsibilities:
Maintain Schedule
Run weekly meeting
Coordinate with project maintainers on dates, features, etc
Ensure that docs and release materials are ready for release
Final say on what goes into a release
Tracking new features
Tracking action items
This person should be empowered to make decisions for the project (based
on input from maintainers, but final call is theirs).
As for choosing this person, it could be done via general election on
email or an IRC meeting. I'd suggest having someone do it for a limited
timeline, maybe 2 or 3 releases, max, then someone else takes over.
Any thoughts, suggestions, comments?
Mike,
I'm definitely in favor of a PM. I like the 2-3 term requirement, but if
they want to serve again it should be an option (subject to re-election).
