Because IMHO it's not their place. We have a Summer of Code Project. We know there are issues. We plan to address them. The council is the *last place* to take issues in my mind. Think Supreme Court (bad analogy but whatever). If you have a problem with the way the summer of code is handling (or perhaps will handle) this situation feel free to talk to us, e-mail us, find us on irc ([EMAIL PROTECTED] and #gentoo-soc respectively). <rant> I get really irritated when people just say 'well go talk to the council' when they haven't even talked to the project members, or the project lead, or god forbid, the ombudsman. </rant> -Alec -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
