[Numpy-discussion] Steering Committee Size

[Sebastian Berg]

Hi,

Trying to figure out at least a bit from the discussions. While I am happy with the draft, I wonder if someone has some insights about some questions:

1. How large crowds have examples of working well with apache style voting?
2. How large do we expect numpy steering council to be (I have always thought about 10).
3. More on opinions, how large does the community feel is too large (so that we should maybe elect people).

And to maybe more a discussion point, does the community feel that those who would be/are affectivly now in the Steering Council do not sufficiently represent old time contributers who were not active in the past year(s).

I cannot form/change my opinion based on the previous discussion, because I would like to get an idea of how everyone feels about these points first. Then we can fight about details :)

I don't have experience with this, other than Python mailing list where it
is fine.

I don't know. I don't think this is set as far as I'm aware.

As I mentioned before, I am happy to serve on the initial seed council to
help transition more fully to this style of governance.
