But deciding on how to merge stuff is so much fun... :-)
It's the pure bike shed principle. No one wants to discuss the plans for the
nuclear power plant.

Plans are in the works.
We had an entire day workshop today discussing this and gathering feedback
from the many different parts of the organisation. It appears that we know well
what the model for the patch workflow will be and we know what we want the
tooling to do (see the original post on this thread). After discussing a bit
with Cristy, we also have a plan on how to keep the legal obligations satisfied
without interfering too much in the daily workflow.
However, we're completely in the dark when it comes to release management. If
you go back to the earlier threads here, it's one of the topics where there
was the least discussion.
We had the workshop so we can move on to the next phase: implementing this. We
need to know who needs to do what, when, and what they need to accomplish
that. I've received many offers of help from people -- and thank you all for
that -- but in the end I'm just one person and making these plans are hard
work. The good news is that we're likely getting external help to do that.
If you want to help, here are a couple of things you can do:
- ensure that the wiki page is detailed with what we have consensus on, like
Tor Arne's plans
- go back to the list of topics I posted in the first days and see if we have
any sort of conclusion
- if we don't, reopen the discussion and try to steer it to conclusions
- talk to your co-workers and see if they know about Open Governance, help
them understand the why, the what and the value in this (if you don't know
yourself, ask me)
On topics where there is no conclusion, we'll assume the the bike shed - power
plant principle and probably simply implement what works best for us.
