Talk:Cobalt RAQ2 MIPS Cluster

"Was decided in IRC with senior admins around" It was decided with a vote from ONE current head admin, Trey Repetski, and a proxy vote from David Ensey. I question how binding that is. Chris Reffett 18:02, 23 January 2009 (EST)

There were also other admins and ex-admins in the chat at the time, including pgodofsky, nwatson, eharmon, all of which agreed with the policy through silence or voiced agreement. Trey Repetski 18:12, 23 January 2009 (EST)

Silence does not constitute agreement. Additionally, the opinion of former admins is pretty irrelevant here--they've received a version of the event by word of mouth, rather than being present. Chris Reffett 18:27, 23 January 2009 (EST)

By 'through silence,' I mean those admins who were active in the conversation but did not formally say that they agreed with the statement. The advice of former admins *is* relevant, since they have also spent years in this lab. They have made their own policies, and are welcome to advise in the ones we make this year and in the future. My position on this issue stands, and this discussion should be over. Feel free, when the majority of the admins agree, to strike this policy next year. Trey Repetski 18:35, 23 January 2009 (EST)
