Thats sad to hear. We hope to see you again soon Vizzini.

Can we go ahead and start the nomination process and discussion now? There are a few people
that would be nice to see in this role, Filip, Hartmut, Alex, James, Hpoussin, Art, did I forget
anyone else? I would like to hear from each of them on if they would even want the job?

I am leaning towards Alex currently for my nomination because he has the most time to focus on the
kernel and has shown a lot of initiative though I don't always agree with his development and
research methods so someone else could get my nomination and or vote.

Well lets get moving. Not that I want to see you gone or anything =) but your
we do need to move forward with this and I need to get some real business plans
together for the foundation stuff. BTW I am taking vacation for the next few days 
from my day job and one of the things on my TODO list is to talk to the Legal people
about the trademark stuff again.

Thanks
Steven

Sorry, I will not be a candidate for the position of the KC.

Royce?

For me,
No thanks, I been there before (another project) and don't need anymore headaches. Let
some young person have the experience. I'm just here to hack and have fun with you guys.
Thanks,
James

I don't think anybody would agree to me taking it on, my ability to 
contribute seems to come and go, and we need somebody who's going to be 
around more often than not.

I'm not opposed to being coordinator but my philosophy is likely very
different from
most others' who work on the kernel.  Since I haven't been very
productive recently
(and I'm starting a new job soon that will likely soak up lots of time),
I might be a
good choice in that regard, since we won't lose time from those who can
produce more code in the interim.

Art

[Jason Filby]

This is a good point.

Alex: how do you feel about this? Yes, you do produce huge amounts of
great code, but won't this ability to produce raw code be hampered by
a position as kernel coordinator?

Thanks
Jason

Basing myself on the current involvement level I've seen from 
coordinators (I'm not saying this to be nasty or anything), I don't 
think it would take up much of my coding time. I actually plan to do a 
lot more work as a KC then has been currently done and involve myself 
into more planning and administrative things, and I'm sure it won't take 
any coding time away...there are many days where I get really sick of 
coding and just write documentation or doze off... having somethign to 
do is a good thing.

Best regards,

No offense taken. I am actually doing ReactOS-related activities
almost daily (looking at funding), but they're out of scope for the
role of project coordinator.

I thought as much, thanks for the answer.
