Description:
Jeff Mahoney , who
holds a vice-president position at SUSE, has posted a detailed
proposal for improving the governance of the openSUSE project. It's meant to be a way to move from governance by volume or
persistence toward governance by legitimacy, transparency, and
process - so that disagreements can be resolved fairly and the
project can keep moving forward. Introducing structure and
predictability means it easier for newcomers to the project to
participate without needing to understand decades of accumulated
history. It potentially could provide a clearer roadmap for
developers to find a place to contribute. The stated purpose is to start a discussion; this is openSUSE, so he is
likely to succeed.
