I think one thing that has helped me in the past is to keep in mind that when I work on something in a DebConf subteam, that we are working on a proposal for presentation to the larger team, and need to understand that the proposal may not reflect the final decision. The same applies for things discussed on IRC. (It's only a draft proposal until ratified and tweaked by discussion on mailing list.) Generally speaking, when keeping this mindset that what is being presented is a draft, and that I expect to change it based on feedback from the larger group, it seems for whatever reason to be much smoother. If something is going to need a tight decision loop, I think giving the larger team, and chairs, a heads up early makes sense. (Even before a subteam has come to a consensus, and maybe explicitly cc'ing -chairs.) >> Richard > _______________________________________________ > Debconf-team mailing list > Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org > http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
