Hi Tiago and all, Please call me Phil, all my friends do and is preferred. Only my mother used Philip, usually when I was in trouble for something and I did used to get in trouble, I will say sometimes. ;-) Private discussion and guidance of Gianfranco must be credited as part of my overall decision making. Though I do see where areas that confuse my thinking, I will raise them in the the correct manner/place. Example below to show I have no evil villain plans. Example. Debian (from the project homepage) at first glance if you are a non-Debian person, for news: * News - https://www.debian.org/News * Micronews - https://micronews.debian.org/ * Blog - https://bits.debian.org/ I would engage and ask things like: * Having all these, is it fragmenting the message the project wishes to deliver and could people miss vital news? * Are these all different teams? * Do these require separate resources to create for and administer? * Need for/the value of each that we have currently? * Could we deliver a single/consolidated news source for Debian? Not an exhaustive list, just a quick example and nothing outrageous. New thoughts and ideas as well as good hard developer work is all I wish to bring. Opinion of others and the majority view I will always abide by. As previously stated I love the project and what it stands for and will engage in the DD process with the spirit it should be entered into and completed. Regards Phil -- Playing the game for the games sake.
