GNU Maintainers, developers, volunteers, etc., This relates to all of our projects and how they operate. Please take a minute and look over this email.
This is an invitation to a public discussion about GNU Project governance by GNU maintainers, developers, volunteers, etc. Discussions will take place on a moderated mailing list gnu-misc-discuss: https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss Mark Wielaard has kicked this off with a post about his ideas: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-misc-discuss/2019-10/msg00002.html Please feel free to post your own ideas and opinions about governance and how it relates to the GNU Project. Please keep the conversations kind [1] and strictly about governance and not about specific people and their respective abilities. If you need an example: "Carlos O'Donell is an aweful leader and speller" is off-topic, but "I would like an autocratic model where we have one leader for life who passes this on to the next leader" is on-topic. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask me. -- Cheers, Carlos. [1] https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/kind-communication.html
