[Openicc] Helping with colord

[Chris Murphy]

I think the leadership roll should be served by someone who better understands the open source playing field than I do, and also has minimal (or none ideally) conflicts of interest. This might be an outsider who has successfully managed past infrastructure projects.

And much interesting and useful conversations happen at cocktail parties. But the focus is not on arriving at solving problems, it's merely to discuss various things. So it has a role. But there needs to be some significant structural aspects as well.

And probably need moderation for the forum with assignments for discussion. I don't mean shut down other conversations - but presently we have no concrete assignments: Jan-Peter's initiation posts are very close to these assignments, which I think are good. But they are like boxcars that are easily derailed, because we have no rails: a goal off in the distance with a time frame, and milestones as the track.
