These are the open governance bugs in bugzilla. I've appended my comments. 931 min P4 NEW OGB 2008/009 - Establish regular reports from Projects on their status
I think we ought to pick this up and drive it forward. I would expect some sort of report from all collectives (projects, user groups, and communities). At least annually, if not quarterly.Operationally, we could tie it in to the newsletter, but it should be something that every collective should do anyway and shouldn't be a huge bureaucratic effort. (Implementation suggestion: simply create a mailing list. Reports may be "The foo user group met 3 times in the last quarter", "The bar project released a new version of the code", "The baz community group created two new projects fred and joe". We want bullet points, not the complete works of Shakespeare.) 932 min P4 NEW OGB 2007/002 Community and Project Reorganisation My own feeling is that this should be dropped. I don't want to see the OGB dictatiting the structure of the community. Rather, it should evolve naturally. (That's not to say that the OGB shouldn't guide and encourage communities and projects, and should point out where synergies and gaps exist that individual collectives may have missed, but we shouldn't be telling the community how to fracture itself.) 933 min P4 NEW OGB 2007/003: Communities with < 3 Core Contributors We should wait for constitutional reform. 1383 nor P4 NEW set of mailing list issues Close. If there are individual issues then open new bugs, although they don't look like governance to me. 1920 min P4 NEW OGB Directive to change "leader" to "editor" in web app Hm. An OGB directive. Does the new infrastructure follow this directive? If so, there's no problem. 1937 maj P2 NEW OGB 2008/010 Simplifying the structure of the OpenSolaris Community I *think* that this is the new constitution. Given that it failed, we should probably create a new bug to track future work. Although John Plocher's comments follow 2007/002. Is there anything else bundled in this that we need to track? 2186 min P4 NEW Make some useful SQL queries available for the grants Is there any reason this is still open? 2246 min P4 NEW Create Emancipation Community Group What's the status here? As far as I can tell from the website Emancipation is still a project. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
