[Consortium] We have to move!

[Ico Bukvic]

This sounds like a great opportunity to revisit our summer thread. We
have allowed ample time for people to come forward and nominate others for
this role. I honestly do not recall if the same message percolated through
our other LA* lists, but this is something we can always revisit at a later
date. We need to do some housekeeping first.

As it stands right now, I see great involvement and commitment from Jeremy
and Robin. I also think that leadership should not be equal to sysadmin. It
is too much work for one person. I also saw thoughtful responses from Fons
(copying all whose names are uttered--please pardon the added email
traffic, not sure who still is on the consortium list), Nils, and then
there also Dave who has been one of the pillars of this community. Granted,
recently he has transitioned onto a darker side (Mac), but at least he is
still in the *nix land :-). Lastly, there is Daniel James who started this
all. Last I spoke with him, he did not have the bandwidth to take over. Out
of respect for his contributions and in hope he may offer some of his
wisdom in this matter, I am also copying him on this thread.

At any rate, my recommendation is to start with this pool of people to form
the initial working group. I am happy to start the ball rolling (I guess I
already am) and remain on this list and provide my 5-cents worth where it
may prove helpful. Aside from that, I'll happily and quietly continue to
observe from the sidelines.

Best,

Ico
