Fwd: [mer-general] Governance draft

[martin brook]

Hi All,

I'm cross posting this for the benefit of those no subscribed to
mer-general who may want to comment on the governance draft for the Mer
project.

Plasma Active has made steps to becoming a Mer customer so this is a chance
to comment on the draft to make sure we are heading in the right direction
on governance which will ultimately feed into the deliverable to you.

To subscribe to mer-general for any comments, send an empty e-mail to *
mer-general+subscribe at lists.merproject.org* or reply here.

Subject: [mer-general] Governance draft
To:


Hi all,

I've worked a bit on a governance draft for the Mer project and I'd
like some (constructive) feedback (even "yes, that's great!") on this
model, especially from interest groups (as defined by Plasma Active,
Nemo, companies, other organisational units) etc. The governance model
is loosely based on the Yocto governance, with a difference in how the
advisory board is put together.

The idea of the governance is to be technically oriented while
maintaining that it's important to actively work/discuss with your
customers/users in order to keep your work properly directed. The
guiding principle is that you gain influence through participation and
contribution.

You can read the proposal on
http://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Governance_draft

The part about a non-profit is a bit loose, but the idea is to
eventually place the Mer project in a non-profit with the advisory
board as the board of the non-profit.
