So, we want to go with a provisional board for hashing out the administration/governance of the SharpOS project, along with providing conflict resolution and an official way of making decisions for, and on behalf of, the project. We've determined that the list should include (initially) the core contributors / starters of the project. The list looks like this:
- Mircea Cristian Racasan - Bruce Markham - Johann Macdonagh - Sander van Rossen - William Lahti (me) - Scott Balmos - Michael Schurter This is just the initial list, and once the board is set up and we have our voting methods in place, we will begin voting in those who requested membership in Bruce's thread. Each member will have an equal vote. Bruce has also put forth some conventions which will henceforth become official policy of the SharpOS project (and will be displayed on the wiki): 1. All project-affecting decisions - licensing, acceptance of code submissions, adding or removing voting members, or otherwise revising work processes or content - must be approved by a majority vote by the governing body as defined at the point a motion is made. 2. To prevent frivolous bureaucratic activity, a motion must be seconded before it can be voted on. So, I hereby instate the provisional board instated above. We now require a way to perform voting. Having read many messags and talked to a few people, I believe an acceptable way of doing this is creating a read-only mailing list comprised of the members of the provisional board. That means the logs will be public, but it will not be possible to register to post messages on the list. My reasoning on making the logs public is ease of accountability and accountability of the decisions of our board members. I will soon make the list and subscribe the appropriate people to it, so that we can begin voting in new members and shaping the policies and governance of the SharpOS project. So, let the fun begin! -- fury long name: William Lahti handle :: fury freenode :: xfury blog :: http://xfurious.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
