Hi *,
Some time agoo, Michael Meeks posted a proposal on a different structure
for the community council (CC). This was partly discussed, but
fragmented on various lists.
With thanks to Michael for his initial contribution, the CC now likes to
bring the discussion to one place, this discussion list.
The original proposal can be found in the archives: see
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=22513
Summarized it says:
9 seats in the community council;
5 representatives of the group corporate and volunteer developers,
voting by people who commit code/art/translations to CVS
1 representative appointed by Sun
2 representatives out of the group translators
voting by people who commit code/art/translations to CVS
1 representative out of the group community
voting by all community members
The current structure of the CC, voting and so on, is explained on the
OOo website. See: http://council.openoffice.org/CouncilProposal.html
chapter IV
The major difference between the current en proposed structure is that
currently voting for the most seats is done by project leads and in the
proposed structure can be done by all members who contribute
code/art/translations to CVS.
The idea behind the proposal is that a broader electoral base will
attract more people to be active in the community.
We invite people to post their contributions now on this list.
Please obey the guidelines for our mailing lists, to help the
discussion. See http://www.openoffice.org/ml_guidelines.html
Thanks,
Cor Nouws
CC member
