Hello gem5 community, First, I would like to thank all of our users. You are "the most important members of the community and without them the project would have no purpose."
A while ago (June 2015), I started the process of codifying the governance of our community ( http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.m5.devel/26397, http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg11854.html). Unfortunately, I didn't quite stay on top of it (sorry!). Following our consensus guidelines I have allowed "at least two weeks before assuming that there are no objections to the proposal", so there's that ;). In keeping with lazy consensus, I've published the document on our wiki ( http://gem5.org/Governance). This was copy-paste, so there may be minor errors. The next step required is to set up the "Project Management Committee" (PMC). From the governance document: The project management committee consists of those individuals identified as ‘project owners’ on the development site. The PMC has additional responsibilities over and above those of a committer. These responsibilities ensure the smooth running of the project. PMC members are expected to review code contributions, participate in strategic planning, approve changes to the governance model and manage how the software is distributed and licensed. Some PMC members are responsible for specific components of the gem5 project. This includes gem5 source modules (e.g., classic caches, O3CPU model, etc.) and project assets (e.g., the website). If you have opinions on how best to set up the PMC, let me know. Otherwise, expect to hear something else from me about it soon. Also, don't forget about the upcoming Learning gem5 tutorial at HPCA in Austin! Check the webpage often (http://learning.gem5.org/tutorial/). I'll be making significant updates in the next week (hopefully). Cheers, Jason -- Jason _______________________________________________ gem5-dev mailing list [email protected] http://m5sim.org/mailman/listinfo/gem5-dev
