Dear opam-devel, I’ve just posted the following to [email protected] regarding a governance framework for OCaml.org. If you have thoughts, please do share them on that list.

I wrote about my > approach to this and mentioned that such a framework should: > - demonstrate a commitment to a stable decision-making process. > - be clear about scope (i.e. OCaml.org). > - document current reality, rather than being aspirational. > - be a living document, meaning that it can and should evolve. > > Please read the original post for detail on the above points. > http://amirchaudhry.com/towards-governance-framework-for-ocamlorg/ > > Since that time, I've drafted a governance document and discussed it with > those who already run projects under OCaml.org. We've reached a point where > we're ready to discuss this more widely and more formally adopt the model. > > Starting from today, we're sharing the document publicly and inviting any > discussion on this mailing list ([email protected]). During > this time, I'll also be asking the existing maintainers to ratify the > document. > > By the 14th of September we'll wrap things up (for this time around) and > publish version 1.0 of the agreed document on OCaml.org > > You can find a draft linked below and the step-by-step process we're > following. Please do share your thoughts on this thread. > > Document: https://gist.github.com/amirmc/fe8a931c246bb13d9b32 > > -- The process for adopting the governance framework -- > > 0. I draft and discuss a governance document with existing project > maintainers and reach agreement. (DONE). > 1. I send an email update to the infra list and caml-list, with a link to a > public version of the doc. > 2. We allow a period of public discussion on the infra list. > 3. During this, I explicitly ask Maintainers and Owner to confirm they will > adopt the doc. > 4. In parallel, I create an issue on the ocaml.org repo with a list of > people to check off as agreements come in -- important that the responses > happen on the mailing list as that's properly archived. > 5. Once all the affirmations are in, I push the doc to the ocaml.org site. > > Best wishes, > Amir _______________________________________________ opam-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ocaml.org/listinfo/opam-devel
