I'm looking to make ownership of Cobbler more democratic. In short, I'mwanting to disappear and let someone else take Cobbler in whatever directionthey would like to take it -- not having the need to use it everyday meansI'm not really in the mode to test and fix things, which is holding us back.We have made progress in opening things up on github and making a betterenvironment for people to more easily contribute, but there is more to do.Namely we have to fix bugs. People assume I'm going to fix them, and Idon't… and as a result, they do not get fixed. OSS is not really"community please help" sort of thing, it takes people to drive and do alarge amount of work. I knew this, but … well, I've confirmed it more.We need drivers.I'll go ahead and throw my hat in the ring.For those who may not know me, I've been a contributor since 2008 andhave written/rewritten large portions of the code (import modules,esx/esxi support, alternate template support, and the basis for theweb GUI to name a few). I've contributed patches to just about everyportion of the code, so I know the internal workings of cobbler prettywell.My company is fairly strict about not accessing personal mail duringwork hours, so that means my hacking/irc/email answering time ispretty much limited to evenings. I don't see that changing any timesoon, so that would be one negative. I was also recently promoted toan architect position, so I'm not using cobbler day to day quite asmuch as I was as an engineer.I have too many hours dedicated to cobbler to let it die easily, soI'm not going anywhere no matter what happens, and will continuecontributing for the foreseeable future no matter who's leading theproject._______________________________________________cobbler mailing list
