I updated this again to reflect the removal of the Facilitator role, and
I'm also recommending the removal of the Emeritus role. This is just an
outline of an idea to give the infrastructure dev team the minimum
information (roles, structure, relationships) they've been requesting
for four weeks so they can continue working to build the applications to
upgrade the site and support the gate migration.
Constitutional Term Changes and Deletions
* Group replaces Community Group to describe all collectives.
* Groups are Communities, Projects, and User Groups.
* Core Contributor is removed.
* Facilitator is removed.
* Emeritus Contributor is removed.
Communities: Social groups gathered around issues or technologies. All
roles except Participant have edit rights to web pages in their Community.
* Participant: Someone who participates in the activities of the
Community.
* Contributor: A Participant who has been acknowledged by the
Community as having substantively contributed towards
accomplishing the goals of that Community.
* Leader: A Contributor elected by a Community to lead the Community.
Projects: Development groups gathered around code repositories and
integration tools. All roles except Participant have edit rights to web
pages in their Project.
* Participant: Someone who participates in the activities of a Project.
* Committer: A Participant who has been acknowledged by the Project
as having substantively contributed towards accomplishing the
goals of that Project and who has commit rights to any code
repositories owned by the Project.
* Leader: A Committer elected by a Project to lead a Project.
User Groups: Groups of users gathered around issues or technologies in a
specific geography. All roles except Participant have edit rights to web
pages in their User Group.
* Participant: Someone who participates in the activities of a User
Group.
* Coordinator: A participant who leads and coordinates the
activities of a User Group.
Group Creation Process
Groups can associate with each other for purposes of collaboration, but
development Projects are no longer sponsored by Community Groups. As a
result, the new Group creation process can be simplified because
governance is decoupled from operations and there is no need for CC
voting. If people want infrastructure so they can do some work, they can
send mail to a Group creation alias with a request and if it's not
rejected in a week it's automatically created.
Membership Process
If Groups want their participants to be involved in community-wide
voting then each Group will have to follow the OGB Membership
Committee's specification (which is yet to be defined).
