Hi!
Here's the latest weekly news edition!
=====================================================================
Hi all!
I had a plain weekly prepared yesterday already but something changed
and I would like to say a few words about that in here. Since this
is much juicier stuff I guess you all don't mind me skipping the
boring stuff!
Yesterday evening amongst friends and lunar developers my good
friend Chuck Mead (csm) has decided to step back as official lunar
project leader. Chuck has pointed out he is not stepping down as
leader because he doesn't want to do it anymore, but as we know he
doesn't have the time nor the means to do it the way he wants to be a
project leader anymore. He has put his interests in lunar behind the
common goods interest, and that makes him truly a good project leader.
Fortunately that doesn't mean we're in a crisis right now. Chuck
has nominated me as his follow-up, and I was surprised that all
developers present supported that move. I guess I cannot run away
and hide anymore now!
So, here I am being 'project leader' of something that is a group
effort and me alone would not be able to pull. The change is almost
cosmetic. I have been taking over csm's original tasks together with
most developers and the burden has become a distributed load, which
functions amazingly good. Lunar is a group, consisting of hundreds
of people, and will continue to function that way in the future.
I would like to thank csm for all the time and effort he put in lunar,
he will be around and involved as usual, and I'm sure we'll eat pizza
together maybe again sometime! I'll keep bugging you to fix postfix
and empty your mailbox on moongroup as usual ;^)
If you're interested in reading more of this I point you to the new
website. A few devs are happily blogging and their journals will
provide you with quite a lot of information on what's going on in
lunar-linux at the moment. There's also some words from csm about
the changes. Good stuff.
The new site also offers plenty of dynamic content and much better
integration and navigation. But besides that it also allows *you*
to contribute much easier. There's plenty of ways to submit content
to the website for registered users, so if you have something to
share... please do! Thanks to everyone for filling the site up that
fast already in the first week BTW... it's really looking good.
