Hi all, for the moment (or better for the initial period) the Steering Committe is the governing instance of TDF. But this will change.
We understand, that there are questions, how the committee was elected, how it is supposed to work, etc ... I will follow up on this later (or maybe tomorrow). We are aware, that we need to give more information on this. For the moment, just some basic rules, we defined, when we elected the Committee: - all members must be accepted community contributors at OpenOffice.org (therefore we have a good number of OOo Community Council members) - members should cover all aspects of our community, including developers (code hackers), general development (supporting tasks like QA, marketing, documentation), l10n / native-lang, user community and stakeholders - the Steering Committe must work on the bylaws for the future governing body and end it's own existence, as soon as this body is operational - the Steering Committe will end it's existence 1 year the latest after public announcement (or earlier, if a the future commitee is operational) Definition of the future governing body needs to be done with all of you - the community. I hope, we can start this process soon. But first we need to hand over some other tasks, like moderating the mailing lists, handling infrastructure ... these are very busy days. The other point is, that we will setup a mailinglist, so that you see our discussions and a wiki, to report our work. hope that helps, André -- GMX DSL Doppel-Flat ab 19,99 €/mtl.!
