I have been working with Tom Farrow (tad) and some other community members to put together a proposal for better delivering Web Services to Communities.This would restructure the delivery of services like hosting, domains and emails which are currently provided to communities. Creating a module would provide clear authority around these services, as well as allowing communities to be equal stakeholders in what services are delivered, and how.
The module also creates accountability on the part of communities which will allow for better communication between resource owners and the groups that provide them (eg Community Ops), faster problem solving (eg downtime recovery), and impact (better supported sites are better quality sites). This document is what we think is realistic plan for implementing the module. https://docs.google.com/a/mozilla-community.org/document/d/1zXuNp8dwyLOW-UqZ4FqcRVxhszHWYqgjClDKZ5kYrTQ/edit?usp=sharing This document is a our vision of what the module could become once fully implemented: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YdNWOy7QNc1xXcnHGN5IW4HhRgRJCjOdKMu_gHFjUM4 We are proposing that the module be called Mozilla Communities Web Services, that Tom Farrow be the module owner, and that myself and Michael Kohler be peers. Suggestions for additional peers are welcome, but the intention for now is to add people as they take on leadership roles. Questions and suggestions are of course welcomed. _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
