<p dir="ltr">I think it's easy to quantify a code contributor since we have systems that monitor activity - who contributed, what they contributed and when. But we don't have a system that monitors operator activity and honestly, that's the question mark for which I really don't have any answers. That might be our first hurdle - how define the difference between a causal user making remarks on the mailing lists and someone who works with the technology and engages. We'd have to quantify them differently somehow.</p>

Fantastic, that has always been the intention.<br>

I noticed that this round of elections we had TC *candidates* that at<br>
least I consider more operators than strictly 'dev'. That, to me, is a<br>
huge sign of the progress we've made to integrate the two categories.<br>
<br>
To me the real big question is: how are candidates from the operators<br>
side going to get a better chance of being elected next time?<br>
<br>
And what's the role of the User Committee in all this?<br>
