The only objection I have concerns the cartoon. Yes, I think it's too childish.
I've no such feelings (but I've also heard people saying Gary Larson is childish, so...).
I know this response is too late since Dave has already implemented the idea, but can he yank the cartoon, if Dave actually included it? (I haven't seen the updated page yet.)
I really hope he won't.
A view from a complete outsider: Agreed. In fact, I think you all should go back and add similar cartoons of the other release managers to the releases they managed. And there should be a new page called the "Release Manager Hall of Fame" containing all of the cartoons. I'm serious. These people deserve all the recognition they can be given, and I think the cartoon of Aleksey is a brilliantly effective way of doing that. Detailed and frank discussions about release procedures and how to improve them are important, but I think it's inappropriate to discuss or even raise the issue of the relative merits of the release managers. The sheer amount of work being done on a volunteer basis appears staggering to me, and I'm sure I'm only dimly aware of a small fraction of what's being done.
