The Design team had two voted "leads": Bernhard and Christoph. Both got 
the role by their meritocracy in the Design team. They never saw this as 
an official position but as a responsibility. And AFAIK Mirek and Astron 
were their successors.

I won't call it lead but projectée.
There should be some profiles for a projectée:
- He/She should have contributed time and intellectual design work for 6 
months. The best will be, he/she is a member (as it is told in our 
statutes § 10 Board of Trustees).
- The person should have led more than one design project for LibO as 
described by the Whiteboards
- He/She should be voted, not elected: There will always be only one 
person for one position to be voted.
- It won't be an official position (so the projectée can't do 
dictatorial work) but he/she have a voice to stop things which will go 
in wrong direction.


I personally don't think that we need leads because we have no 
contributors to be led. We have some merited Design members who guide 
us. I for my part will say thanks to Mirek and Astron who do a very good 
job here.

As you said we need structural positions and I think you (and Astron) 
should go on to work on it. I can put in my personal 2 Cents as border 
worker between Marketing and Design. Maybe we find an instrument to work 
on it.
Wasn't there an idea to make a Design meeting in South Tirol (with 
Italo) some times ago (two or three years)?
