Hi,
one of the objectives that I was given, when I started as Xen.org
community manager was to learn about the unwritten rules of how
Xen.org governance works, write them down and make some improvement
proposals. At this point, I wanted to present my findings and also
make an improvement proposal. Governance changes can be quite
divisive, which is why we are going to consult you and ask for
input. The proposal has already been reviewed by key stake-holders
in the community and by the Xen Advisory Board. The feedback we have
received, has so far been positive.
The detailed proposal can be found on http://www.xen.org/files/Proposals/XenGovernanceProposal1.pdf
and essentially consists of three parts:
- Basic principles describing how the community works: these are
Openness, Transparency, Meritocracy and Consensus Decision
Making
- Key roles in the community: these are Maintainers, Project
leads and a lightweight nomination and election process
- A lightweight project life cycle that shows how a project gets
from an idea to maturity and is eventually archived. There is
also a section on how this works in practice.
If you are a contributor to Xen.org or an otherwise active
community member, please review the preoposal (http://www.xen.org/files/Proposals/XenGovernanceProposal1.pdf).
We also created a poll (http://www.xen.org/polls/governance_proposal1.html)
to find out whether the proposal resonates with you. The poll will
be open for 4 weeks (until Jun 7th).
Best Regards
Lars
