[Geoserver-devel] IRC Meeting + PMC

Hi all,

We had a great meeting today. Logs are posted here:

http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOS/2006/05/23/IRC+Logs+May+23

One of the topics of interest was creating a formal PMC for the project. I know this has been brought up before and hasn't gone anywhere, but after todays meeting I figure I will try again.

The idea is that with a PMC the community can actually make decisions together instead of just relying on one or two individuals to do all the project management. Personally I would like to see this managment model in GeoServer as it actually would make the project an open process.

Please respond to this email if you have an opinion for or against. We can only assume that people who dont respond dont care and have no interest in wether we go PMC or no PMC.

If there is interest, I think the next step is to define what the PMC would actually be responsible for, and actually form one. We came up with some possible nominations today of who we thought would make good PMC members. These are the names that came up.

Dave Blasby
Chris Holmes
Jody Garnett
Gabriel Roldan
Simone Giannecchini
Rob Atkinson

These people have much experience with the project and obviously have a stake in its future. If i have missed anyone please tell me, and if there is anyone you feel should be in this list please feel free to put them forward as a nomination.

I am happy about setting up a PMC (thanks for the nomination), I would
just nominate Alessio too, since he often provide good improvements to
the GeoServer project even beyond the work we do on WCS-branch (see
KML, KMZ).

Simone.

PS
Is there going to be another meeting this evening 19:00 UTC right?

Thanks for the nomination. Whether I can add directly depends a little on the roles and procedures. I'm presuming that actual code reviews will be undertaken by the best qualified developers and recommendations put to the PMC?
I guess I can provide a more formal bridge between the domain data standards development communities and geoserver as an implementation option, to the benefit of both, and in that sense I'm happy to accept the nomination pending further understanding of the specifics. I dont want to get in the way of efficient communications just because of the time zone issue.

Yup, basically we would like to represent all aspects of our community (users and developers), and we thinkg you would do a heck of a job as you already to a heck of a job.

Things like code reviws and stuff like that I think is out of the scope of hte PMC and should remain the responsibilty of the committers as you say. That being said I would love to see the PMC set up some guidelines and procedures for doing so.
