With Jason's and Gustavo's departures from the project, we are suddenly
down by two extraordinary contributors and by two leads at the same
time. Several developers have stepped forward to help fill the void in
the developer category. And since most of our communications are rather
informal and take place on IRC in #gentoo-sparc, we could probably
survive without a lead for quite a while.

Infra, however, do not see it that way. They want us to have a
designated lead as an administrative contact. I suspect council also
would prefer we have a lead to serve as our TLP contact if they ever
need one. And devrel needs a TLP contact because TLP managers figure in
to devrel procedures on occasion.

So, I suggest we just pick one. Infra suggested we meet to do this; I
don't think sparc has met as a group in the time I've been a part of it
and I don't see the need to start unless someone wishes. Rather, each
year we have re-elected Weeve as lead by unanimous mail vote.

I would think that if anyone has a suggestion for lead, please just mail
it in or bring it up on #gentoo-sparc. If there's one nomination, that
person is it (if you don't like that choice, nominate someone else). If
more than one, we'll hold a little election. If no suggestions, you are
stuck with me just because of the immediate need for administrative
contact and because I am writing this note.

We should move quickly; please plan for this to be complete by 20:00 UTC
Friday (31 August).

Thanks and regards,
Ferris
