(This is a copy of the mail I just sent to the development lists)
As a result of the general unrest in the Compiz community, a series of conference calls were held to work out how to move forward. The minutes of these conference calls have already been published, but no official statements have been made, until now.
A council has been established, which will ultimately be responsible for running the Compiz development. It consists of 5 well-established members of the community, listed below. The council will work openly and will encourage open discussion and decision-making, but will take charge where it feels it is necessary to retain momentum. The council has yet to decide on all the formalities involved, but it will be sorted out as is necessary, with focus on keeping the project healthy.
The members of the council are, in alphabetical order:
- Danny "maniac" Baumann
- Dennis "onestone" Kasprzyk
- Guillaume "iXce" Seguin
- Kristian "KristianL" Lyngst
