| + | # Post-Daniel BDFL |
| + | |
| + | At the point in a future when Daniel steps away from the project and stops |
| + | being the project lead, there is reason to reconsider how to keep driving the |
| + | project forward. Countries, companies and organizations have a single |
| + | president or CEO for a reason; having a single leader that responsibly can |
| + | take quick daily decisions is efficient. Without Daniel as BDFL, either |
| + | someone else needs to step up and become president, or the project needs to |
| + | adopt a council-driven process. Maybe both? Maybe vote a new project leader |
| + | for one year or a few years at a time? |
| + | |
| + | Deciding the replacement person and governance is a subject for the curl core |
| + | team to vote on. When that happens, this section of this document should also |
| + | get updated. |
