In 2015 and before, i worked from waking up to going to bed on FFmpeg. Anything else i tried to delegate to someone else. During this time i called myself Leader or whatever term i used. Iam not doing that currently at all, iam NOT doing the job a leader should do. If the community by consensus or supermajority asks me to return as leader i may consider it. FFmpeg is run by the community, we atm have a simple consensus based process and whatever comes out of that is implemented. For code as well as non code. For a 2nd layer when consensus fails i proposed 2 voting processes one a flat democratic one and one a proportional one. thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber. -- Plato
