Decision for: Create a toolchain team

Proposal accepted on 2020-12-08

Affirming:

• austern
• chandlerc
• geoffromer
• gribozavr
• josh11b
• noncombatant
• zygoloid

Abstaining:

• tituswinters

Open questions

Should the name of the team be "toolchain team" or "implementation team"?

Some core team members expressed a preference for "implementation team", none expressed a preference for "toolchain team", all were fine either way. As gribozavr noted, and everyone at the review meeting agreed, the team should be free to choose its own name.

Rationale

Carbon's goals include providing a reference implementation and tooling. Delivering this complex software requires a dedicated team, vision, leadership, and a degree of autonomy.
