hey, guys. This is important for us. We've been creating OSUGs on the site under the current governance and our own Advocacy voting system, but after the new Constitution is approved the process for creating /all/ groups will change (see below). As you know, the OSUGs are currently actually "Projects" on the site, but under the new Constitution the OSUGs will have the same status as Communities and Projects. We will implement all this this as we migrate to the new site. More on that part very soon. But for now, please just be aware that the OSUG creation process will change, and if you can familiarize yourselves with the documents below that would be great.
Thanks, Jim -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [osol-discuss] New Group Lifecycle Process Coming Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2009 22:16:30 +0900 To: opensolaris-discuss at opensolaris.org CC: OpenSolaris Governing Board Discussions <ogb-discuss at opensolaris.org> hey ... As we consider the new OpenSolaris Constitution [1], I wanted to point out that part of that document points to a group lifecycle procedure [2]. This new procedure will replace the group creation processes outlined in the current Constitution [3] and in the Project Instantiation Policy [4]. So, when the new Constitution is ratified, there will be one procedure to create, change, archive, and reactivate all groups (Communities, Projects, User Groups). Currently, I`m managing the creation of the OSUG projects, and I`m staffing the project-setup alias and creating those projects as well. I`ll continue in those roles as we move to the new Constitution. The next OGB will have to create a board committee for the new group lifecycle procedure, and I`ll work with that committee to help implement all this. Feedback always welcome.
