What solutions are they looking at?
- gberger 6y agoPresumably, they're either looking into adding more members from other companies, or reducing members from EDB (or both).
- pgaddict 6y agoI have no idea what options are being considered by the core team, but I'd imagine the most likely one is replacing one of the people now working for EDB with someone else.
- ioltas 6y agoDiscussions within the core team are done on a private mailing list, so we'll know the status of things with a public announcement. Committers and contributors have no view of what gets discussed there, except if you are of course directly attached in CC of a given thread, and of course except if you are a committer also part of the core team. Four members of the current core team are committers.
