Comment (by dcr226):
Dave In the past we have given people ops in -social to see this
issue
rather than releaseing them blindly in #fedora
Couple of questions here:
1) Does this mean that the current intention is to "release" Nick onto
#fedora?[[BR]]
2) Because something happened in the past...does that make it policy. Why
does the sig waste my time asking me to vote on a policy, if the policy is
so weak..that it fails on its first use?[[BR]]
3) Apart from other contributions to the project (which I already
appreciate), why choose Nick? I mean, why not randomly pick any Fedora
contributor and give them ops on -social if -social is to be a proving
ground for new ops?
+1 from me, I have worked with Nick in other situations and planning
to
work with him doing a VE session at SELF
Sure, as I said before..I'm fully aware of his contributions to the
project, they are extensive. But the issue here is one of Policy, and
Channel Management. My position doesn't change as I firmly believe +o
should be given to someone who has already demonstrated an ability to
manage the channel in question _before_ they are given ops on that
channel, using #fedora-social as a proving ground for potential ops sets a
dangerous precedent imho.[[BR]]
I understand that there are social groups within the sig, and I may be
considered outside of these peer circles on account of my lack of desire
to duck and dodge policy, but lets face it "We've done it before, so its
ok to do it again" isn't a good argument for this case.[[BR]]
Where is the incentive for IRC-helpers to want to be a part of the sig, if
one can be a part of the sig because it is socially desirable to be a
part?[[BR]]
Without naming names on this ticket (as the users in question might not
want their nicks displayed publicly) there are regular users of #fedora-
social, who regularly help out with channel management and attend
meetings...why haven't they been nominated, are we not rubbing dirt in
their faces just by creating this ticket in the first place?[[BR]]
When Nick attends regular meetings, and is active in the channel for any
extended period of time, I'll happily reconsider. Until then, I'm still -1
