[XenARM] [For Community Review] Xen Project Governance Proposal v2.0
Hi everybody,
please find attached my first draft of the set of changes to Xen
Governance at
http://www.xenproject.org/component/content/article/80-developers/136-governance-v2-proposal.html
- These changes reflect modifications to support the move of Xen to
the Linux Foundation, as well as fixes for shortfalls that have been
identified.
Changes to the last version are marked in Orange. The changes are
relatively small.
The key changes related to the Linux Foundation are
- Added definitions for Sub-projects and Teams, Xen
Project Advisory Board and The Linux Foundation.
- Rename xen.org to xenproject.org or Xen Project
throughout the document (except in the history)
- Refer to sub-projects and teams instead of projects
where appropriate
Other changes are
- Clarify scope and eligible votes in Formal Votes;
refer to this section from Requesting Reviews, Reviews and
Voting rather than duplicating
This was necessary, because the original document was not clear
about who is eligible when it comes formal votes. The change is
merely encoding what we have done in the past (even though the
document was ambiguous).
- Removed Xen.org Chairman as Referee of Last Resort
and delegated this role to the Xen Project Advisory Board.
- Allow Xen Project Advisory Board members to be Mentors.
Xen.org has no chairman any more : the closest we have is the
Advisory Board, so it seems sensible to chose the Advisory Board as
referee of last resort. As an aside, we never had to use this
facility. Other suggestions are welcome though. I also felt that we
should allow Advisory Board members to be mentors for incubation
projects. We allowed Advisory Board members to be sponsors before.
Please provide feedback by responding to this thread by May 10th. I
will set up a formal vote for the week afterwards.
Note that I am also writing up a document to be formally voted on
for mailing list conventions (following from the discussion we had
last week - see
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2013-04/msg01238.html).
Best Regards
Lars
