Hi all,
It has been well over a year since we put together the governance structure and steering council (https://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-dev/dev/governance/people.html#governance-p...). We haven't reviewed the people on the steering council in that time. Based on the criteria for membership I would like to make the following suggestion (note, not discussed with everyone in private beforehand):
Adding the following people to the steering council: - Eric Wieser - Marten van Kerkwijk - Stephan Hoyer - Allan Haldane
Eric and Marten have only been members with commit rights for 6 months, While they have been contributing and very valuable to the project for significantly longer, I do think this it is a bit to short time to be considered for the steering council. I certainly approve of them becoming members at some point, but I do want to avoid the steering council to grow to large to quick as long as it does not need more members to do its job. What I do want to avoid is that the steering council becomes like our committers list, a group that only grows and never shrinks as long as the occasional heartbeat is heard. That said if we think the current steering council is not able to fulfil its purpose I do offer my seat for a replacement as I currently have not really been contributing much. cheers, Julian
