Positions

[Aleksey Bragin]

Hi,
I have two concerns with the current positions in ReactOS:

1. what is the situation with Release Engineers currently? For the  
last few releases, Colin was de-facto the only one doing all release- 
related work. Wiki page states Z98 as a release engineer. Z98 - are  
you still available for this position, or should we try to get  
someone else to help Colin?

2. Klemens Friedl unfortunately has not been available for quite a  
long time, really long time. He informed me about it, so it's fine,  
and sometime in future he is going to get back to ReactOS hopefully.  
But, as of now, I think he can't hold the Web Coordinator position.  
Should we move this to someone else who is active now, like Colin or  
Danny if they have time?

Opinions are appreciated.

WBR,
Aleksey Bragin.

Z98 and me divided the Release Engineering work into caring about the
Changelog (Z98) and branching/packaging the releases (me) long time ago.
And looking at who created the initial changelogs in the past and hounded
devs about getting their changes in, I don't think that this situation has
changed.

Nevertheless, if there is another person willing to help with
branching/packaging, I would gladly coach him a bit on this. Although I like
the job, I don't want the release to depend exclusively on me, especially
because I'll probably have less time for it in the future.
Even though most of the process is described at
http://www.reactos.org/wiki/ReactOS_Release_Engineer, there may still be
some open questions.

I feel that I have enough official and inofficial jobs to care about in the
project, so I certainly won't have time to take over the Website Coordinator
position as well.
If Danny is okay with it, I would gladly suggest him for the position.

I also want to underline that I stand behind his recent actions concerning
the Wiki, since they were based on rules we both decided on when Wiki
cleanup began over a year ago.
Anyway, if people request it, we may still change the rules about what
content goes into the Wiki and what content does not.

Best regards,

Colin

I'd be ok with it, but I may not have much time until mid of march and 
no idea how much afterwards. Prefereable a second person should back me up.
