This thread title needs to be changed from DEVELOPERS to CONTRIBUTORS (STAKEHOLDERS). Done
Who gets a say? I think we all should
What do you want? a big brother distro for extra support/files, why reinvent the wheel??
What what you like to contribute? Lots of time, Packages, Graphics, Help to new users, Maybe a small amount of new programs, I'm still learning on the actual programming side. As much as I can do, about 50hrs a week or so.
Who would you like to work with? This is a hard one to answer, most people like to bash me around,LOL
How should future collaboration be organised? Simple Vote via locked forum where only a select list of trusted individuals have a vote. Developers can develop applications but they aren't graphic artist. etc
Many of the best innovations in puppy have been when one or two people work on their own. We DO NOT have successful experiece of large scale collaboration. Doesn't mean we couldn't with proper voting safe guards, less emotions and more productive production will happen.
Is the future a series of forks?
Would these forks divege or could they run parallel? I believe that a large number of minor architectural decisions will cause them to diverge unless steps are taken to counteract this.
I have been posting here for 2.5 years and still only have a loose grasp on who is an expert at what.
Those with the loudest voices are probably ill equiped to speak (including me). Now is the time for everyone to stand up and answer my first three questions.
Well we aren't rushing, Barry K. Puppy's founder is retiring from Puppy which is new to us all and were just trying to sort some ground work out, Building a distro is a difficult task hands down, So we are trying to form some sort unity and direction to move forward in the up and coming months. We have no layout, model and if we don't act somewhat in a timely fashion and iron out the preliminary issues, then who knows the fate for puppy.notned wrote:Newbie, so I'm hesitant to input, but... Today we got my step-daughter's driving permit. I feel like she pulled a fast one she said that her drivers ed class would expire when she turned 16. I may have a talk with her about that one.
Here's the point. We all know not to believe bad people when they say gotta do it now. I don't think we have to believe good people either.
What exactly is the rush?
Tronkel builds it, I just contribute to packages, and bug squashing, troubleshooting, So when tronkel has time to release a new candidate then we move forward, He has released a lot of them, and each one gets closer to final. Hes done a great job and looking forward to future releases.big_bass wrote:http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_boar ... s/737.html
you can finish the CE you started
that would be a good first step

It looks like PlatonicP, alcy and others are already into development for the next Puppy core:I guess I'm the first coordinator for the next puppy Release. Smile
Well I have to start somewhere
well He only has 34 post and never compiled before, thats a very large task to compile a kernel even from the most experienced developer.raffy wrote:ttuuxxxIt looks like PlatonicP, alcy and others are already into development for the next Puppy core:I guess I'm the first coordinator for the next puppy Release.

Compiling the new 2.6.26 Kernel for puppy
T2 helps automate compilation. AFAIK, it doesn't magically know which modules we do and do not need. In my experience with Gentoo, configuring the kernel is the tricky part. I had to recompile my kernel 10+ times before everything worked properly. I haven't messed with Puppy's kernel yet, but I know it needs a couple patches. That's another part that can become tricky, and T2 probably doesn't help much there either.if so Platonic kernel efforts wouldn't be needed because thats a part of T2.
*I think anybody and everybody should be able to make suggestions, but a committee/council/group thing should vote on the direction Puppy should take. But how to decide who is in that group? I think that once the group is created, it would handle inducting new members on its own, based on merit. That leaves us with initializing the group. We could just do a "who wants to be in the group" question, and if nobody has a problem with the end result, call it the group. If there is a problem, maybe defer to Barry to get the initial group selected. Then, the group could induct any people it feels should have been allowed in.Who gets a say?

Problem is, people who really understand what it takes to "have a go" know exactly what is involved in trying to step into Barry's shoes.So it is up to one of those to step forward and say yes I will have a go.
