Hi all - Just to be clear again - this is what I had highlighted previously --> " 4. Jonathan Druart has resigned from Biblibre effective May 1st and is currently unemployed. I propose the we use some of the money of the Fund to hire him as a contractor to a) sign-off on bugs b) QA bugs c) clean up bugzilla (for example we have a large number of bugs that are major or critical for some that have no patches even written for them, plus there is also a bunch of other clean up that will help every other developer in the community - that honestly none of us really have time to do). Since he has no allegiance to a support provider - he is exactly the third party person we are looking for. "
Also I'd like to suggest that we have a 2 weeks to review the document presented and a vote in 2 weeks time. I will choose a time that we can all vote in IRC. Thanks.
