To a more rational representation of how governance can help support the culture of this particular community. We must strip down to the bottom and re-build as necessary. We can not specify up front everything we think may be need when the majority of development is not even outside yet and the majority of the OpenSolaris community is not interested in governance. If we've made one meta mistake with governance these last three years it's just that -- we created governance before it was even necessary. Governance /itself/ has to be significantly understated so it's very simple, very lightweight, very flexible, and very obvious. Or it will continue to be viewed as just another layer on top of existing processes living inside the Solaris engineering organization, which we are trying to open up. We need to push development to the front and governance to the back. Jim -- http://blogs.sun.com/jimgris/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
