[...] One thing I am missing in the text is a number of people that need to
run FLSCo. Looking at the project as a whole, this would be any odd
number between 5 and 11. As a requirement we should add the fact that we
want to have at least one member of each major region (APAC, EMEA en
America) at that level, to be sure to have a representative to each part
of the community behind it.
This is a good point, and mentioned on the page at some point: "The
committee represents the community as a whole" -- could be emphasized
more. I'm not sure how feasible and efficient would be to have it as a
mandate for FLSCo members; maybe we should leave it open, and remind
everyone (both now and before the vote) that one important aspect of a
good FLSCo would be to represent the whole community.
Reason to join FLSCo #143: We have enough budget set aside to try hard
and have all FLSCO members in Brussels for FOSDEM '09.
