Do you see this as just a one-time effort to straighten things out, or do you see the OGB as continually managing the structure of the community? There's much less need for a perfect community structure once you divorce community governance from that structure. I think that all we need now is to decide what sort of thing the current entities are (whether they're a SIG or a COMPONENT and what sort of component); the structure would help in that, but I don't see the need to worry overmuch about the finer details of the org chart. One of the simplifications I would look for is to remove the shackles of a fixed structure. > Key to my reorg was an attempt to put PROJECTs under the COMPONENT > where they integrate rather than under the SIG where they get talked > about. This I'm not sure about - I regard projects as being viable objects being spawned by any other object (even other projects - and even parentless). -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
