Hello,
Yesterday we held the General Meeting of B2CK and the subject of the
Tryton Software Foundation was discussed. Please make your voice heard
and give us your opinion on this subject so that the foundation's
status are the result of a community process.
- The foundation aims are to promote Tryton: do marketing stuffs,
participate in booth, sponsors developments. The foundation will
not have its word on the technical side of Tryton.
- The foundation will have a minimal board for the day to day
organisation. The board will be elected amongst members on a
yearly basis.
- The foundation has two kind of membership: members and sponsors.
- Members are the one that have a voice in the foundation
elections.
- Members can be people or companies.
- The members should pay a annual fees to renew their membership.
This fee is higher when the member is a company.
- To became a member someone/the company has to follow this
scheme:
- Being proposed by one (or maybe more) of the actual members
- Being accepted after a vote at the majority of voters
- Members can be excluded after a vote at a special majority (to
be defined)
- Documents and other things created by the foundation must be
released under a free licence (the definition of free is the one
of the FSF).
- Status can be change after a vote at a special majority (to be
defined)
Once a consensus has been reached on the foundation status we will
meet our lawyer and see if everything we want is possible according to
the belgian/european laws ;). I suppose he will come with some changes
which we will talk about here (it's obvious but sometimes it is better
to say it).
