I love building things, and creating environments where people can get things done with flow, with focus on their goals, and without friction.
Martin has provided strong leadership of the Bazaar team... The Bazaar community is going from strength to strength as more and more users are getting involved in providing fixes and enhancements. This increased external involvement is a direct result of new processes Martin has championed. Martin is a pleasure to work for because he communicates expectations clearly. When appropriate, corrective feedback is given in a timely manner and in a constructive way. He also looks for innovative ways each team member can contribute while expanding their skills.
I particularly appreciate how Martin regularly re-evaluates the team's direction, and progress towards that direction, and will suggest changes to our direction and processes in light of that. The team is not being yanked from priority to priority rapidly, but we are kept firmly focused on our goals. Martin's communications are always clear, complete and precise, whether to the public mailing list or on a one-on-one phone call.
Martin pays attention to people. He leave a high degree of freedom to his team to choose their own objectives while always being attentive that the overall direction of the project is respected. It's a pleasure to be part of his team.
