1. Document your governance model, I'm a member of an Apache project, we have clear rules that assist in resolving differences
Unfortunately, OpenSolaris adopted the Apache governance model and it was a poor fit (Apaches rules for governing a large body of loosely related projects didn't map well to a community trying to generate a single unified OS) and too heavy-weight at the time it was introduced. A big problem was driving things the wrong way around - we built out all this governance structure and then hoped people would show up to use it, and they saw more overhead than benefit and were turned off by it. That's left the OpenSolaris offshoots wary of governance and refusing to admit that some level is necessary for ensuring decisions get made, and thus left them floundering and directionless. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@oracle.com Oracle Solaris Engineering - http://blogs.oracle.com/alanc _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
