However I have no issues being a commiter, Im not inclined to do major works, until I shore up the work Ive done, which is very XCP specific. In my opinion, an RM should have some autonomy in management. Ive run R&D shops for a decade, We always designated a non-dev type to manage the release, to remove the politics from the development and build process. And all senior development leaders would have to sign off on a release as being ready from their code perspective. For us it helped our developers take ownership of issues as they arose. Aside from that Id like to contribute, in light of responsibilities I do have the experience. and well some of the CS people know me and what Ive been up. :) Ill throw my hat in the ring. Id be more then happy to help. > > > > > > >> > >> > >>> > >>> -Sebastien > > > > >
