MacPorts PortMgr
There's a talk from 2016, see Meetings/MacPortsMeeting2016/Programme. Compared to two years ago, portmgr@
no longer deals with managing the infrastructure, since we now have the infrastructure team to do that and rely on GitHub.
Should there be a voting process to confirm portmgr@
and/or get new members elected?
- Is this really necessary? Since there is very little conflict within MacPorts anyway, elections might be more trouble then it's worth.
- Getting voting right is complicated.
portmgr@
response times
portmgr@
is sometimes slow to respond to inquiries- Should there be a "portmgr@ timeout" (one or two weeks) for somebody to object and a default to accept a proposal if the timeout occurs?
- This was a problem when discussing funding requests for travel to the meeting.
Legal organizations & fund handling
- Handling money is an issue for us, since we cannot easily accept donations
- There are options, such as founding an association (which may require a certain number of people in a certain jurisdiction) or joining an existing organization such as Software Freedom Conservancy
