The challenge with "Friends of the Tree" is that we are using it for something very different at the moment - every week in the project meeting we are calling out people who went above and beyond what is normally expected of them and call them a "Friend of the Tree" (here for example: https://wiki.mozilla.org/WeeklyUpdates/2012-11-12#Friends_of_the_Tree). Personally I also think you want a title which carries gravitas - the people who we want to celebrate with this title have done extraordinary things for the project, so it would be awesome if we find a title which reflects this. Emeritus sounds a bit academic to my ears as well. On the other side - it's the best I can come up with too. :) Warmly, P _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
