However, seeing as how this is an elected volunteer position, the dynamic is different - you won't get 'fired' as a TU for only maintaining packages and never voting, for instance, although that seems to be what the original starter of the thread would like to start as a policy. It's been a while since I've read the bylaws, so I have no idea of whether it explicitly states that TUs have to vote, but I'd be surprised if that isn't the case, since quorum is expected.
The TU bylaws are basically all about voting, the actual maintaining of packages isn't really even mentioned in them. I want the bylaws enforced because currently too many people are considered active but also don't think they need to vote which has, as you can see, been putting the votes under quorum. I think this is also the first time we've ever been under quorum in a vote, that's why it's now a real problem. When I started this thread I never wanted any TUs removed (except for the ones who are actually completely gone), I wanted people to get a clue that they're giving a half-assed (because that's what it is, not "half a TU is better than none") effort towards a job they volunteered for and said every time before they were sponsored that they would do it to the best of their ability. If you can't do your job properly, whether it's a pay job or not, then you shouldn't do it at all, this is a big project and I'm sure there are plenty of other people willing to replace you. For the people who are now declaring themselves as inactive now can you please also keep in mind that should be no longer than two months and could you please make a separate thread regarding it? -- Callan 'wizzomafizzo' Barrett
