actually think it might be good to change the release manager often. I think working on making the transition easy and making the RM's duties less onerous is the way to go and then shift the duties around each 6 months would be good. yes and no. switching RM will probably need a few weeks, if not a few months: time to elect the RM, for the RM to propose new workflows if he wants, new coding rules, and all those things. So switching every 6 months looks too often to me. I think 12 months is a minimum.
any other opinion ?
I think 6 months is fine as an ambition. Once we have a workflow that works for us and produces releases about that often, I think the community should be suspicious of RMs who want to change too much. But I won't be surprised if it takes a few loops to reach it. Belatedly, -- MJ Ray (slef), member of www.software.coop, a for-more-than-profit co-op.
