Who, what, where, when, and why and document that. If your meaning like project organization, leadership, etc. I recommend looking at other projects models that are successful and working. Try to avoid re-inventing the wheel. Though hybrid cherry plucking I think is acceptable. Better than invention... Please avoid invention!!! I highly recommend AGAINST something like Gentoo's partial GLEP 39 https://www.gentoo.org/glep/glep-0039.html ( invented pile of dung ) The previous GLEP 4 was better and may work for E https://www.gentoo.org/glep/glep-0004.html Debian has an interesting model with a global annually elected lead. Though I am not sure such would apply to E, with like Carsten's role. I believe Ian remained around Debian in some capacity, till his departing. I some what see Carsten as playing a BDFL type of role. Which some see as controversial, but that can also be necessary. Part of Gentoo's demise was loss of such role and move it to a council, rule by committee, or death by committee... All around depending on long term. If wanting a foundation, funding development etc. I HIGHLY recommend looking at and adopting any of FreeBSD Foundation's model. I think Debian and FreeBSD are the best. Though Gnome maybe of consideration given it has corporate interest which may fit better for like Samsungs role. Gnome is the only that gives businesses some role, via its Advisory Board. https://www.debian.org/intro/organization https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/what-we-do/ https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/dev-model/model-orgstruct.html https://www.gnome.org/foundation/governance/ https://wiki.gnome.org/AdvisoryBoard -- William L.
