You know how I'm all for a loosely managed community with low entry barriers, informal rules and few policies, don't you? In another life, I was a manager, and ran away from it because it wasn't nearly as much fun as real hacking for me. Though, Michael proposed that traditional management practices might increase our productivity. It seems that David's idea of borrowing the concept of projects from Apache and Eclipse would be a wonderful opportunity to test Michael's proposal in practice: --------- Mensaje reenviado -------- De: David Farning <[email protected]> Para: Bernie Innocenti <[email protected]> Cc: Michael Stone <[email protected]>, iaep <[email protected]> Asunto: Re: [IAEP] SoaS as a Sugar Labs project. Fecha: Sun, 23 Aug 2009 16:22:07 -0500 [...] Bernie, would you be interested in creating the project policy for Sugar Labs? There is a very good page at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources . The 'Leads: Managing A Project' and guidelines sections are very valuable. If I were to work on the policy I would: 1. Take the Eclipse and Apache policies and strip them down to the bare minum. 2. Combine the Eclipse and Apache policies and modify them for Sugar Labs. 3. Identify two initial projects and make sure the policies work for both of them. 4. Present the project policy for feedback on iaep. 5. Post the draft policy to the wiki Something as significant as a project-policy will likely take several iterations through 1-5.
