At the first meeting of the new SLOBs, we realized that we didn't have a clear listing of the scope of decisions SLOBs should make, or a way to do it (so far everything's been done by 100% consensus, but that's afaik not because we decided that's how we should make decisions, it's just what we happened to fall into - and it becomes problematic when SLOBs members dissent/go out of town for a week or two/etc.)
Tomeu and myself were recruited to come up with proposals that SLOBs could decide between, in order to fix this. We kicked off some brainstorming on IRC (see transcript at the link below) and now appeal to the metabrain for more ideas. http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Requesting_a_SLOBs_decision This is currently an options-brainstorming page for several things: * What kinds of decisions SLOBs should make (a small and exact list; everything else is Not A SLOBs Decision) * What kinds of decisions SLOBs should explicitly not make (for common issues that we should put a redirection pointer on) * How a SLOBs decision is requested * How a SLOBs decision request is triaged * How a SLOBs decision is made * How a SLOBs decision is announced * How a SLOBs decision is amended These are not final decisions or procedures. This page is currently gathering options to decide from. Please add your ideas to the page, and discuss options here. We'll be going through these options this Friday (23 Oct) on #sugar-meeting at 14:00 UTC (the next SLOBs meeting). --Mel _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
