[Geoserver-users] GSIP #1 - Project Steering Committee.

Chris_Holmes1 · August 1, 2006, 3:06am

Ok, I've put together the first 'GeoServer Improvement Proposal' (GSIP) to bootstrap the Project Steering Committee. Note that I've reworked a decent bit of the http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDEV/0+Project+Steering+Committee Please be sure to read it closely and raise any issues on the list. The initial text was missing a bit, hopefully I've filled in more. We can discuss the proposal and change the text until we are happy with it. Other new pages to note: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDEV/How+to+make+a+GeoServer+Improvement+Proposal
and

This proposal can be found at: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOS/GSIP+1+-+Project+Steering+Committee+formation

text is as follows:

GEOSDEV:0 Project Steering Committee history
Motivations

The GeoServer community has gotten strong enough that a benevolent dictator model no longer makes sense. Power should also be distributed to all who have contributed extensively, so that no one organization controls the direction of the project. The community has done a decent job of bootstrapping itself, and it's always been TOPP's intention to move to a PSC model when appropriate.

The formation of the PSC should hopefully make GeoServer an even more open project, and ideally even attract further outside contributors, who can feel confident that we are a merit based project - that extensive contributions are rewarded with full say in the future direction of the GeoServer Project.
Proposal

The Project Steering Committe shall be initially formed with the following members:

     * Alessio Fabiani
     * Andrea Aime
     * Chris Holmes
     * Gabriel Roldan
     * Jody Garnett
     * Justin Deoliveira
     * Rob Atkinson

Chris Holmes will serve as the initial chair. These were gathered by a voting procedure to bootstrap the initial group. Future decisions will be made by the PSC. PSC procedures are outlines in 'Implementation'
Implementation

The current procedures of the PSC will always be located at the PSC page. It details the structure, responsibilities, and procedures of the PSC. This is a living document, and by following the procedures laid out within it the PSC can change the guidelines. Small tweaks can also be made without formal proposals.
Participants

     * Alessio Fabiani
     * Andrea Aime
     * Chris Holmes
     * Gabriel Roldan
     * Jody Garnett
     * Justin Deoliveira
     * Rob Atkinson

Looks great Chris.

I took the liberty of testing them out to come up with GSIP#2.

Thanks Justin. I was waiting for 100% approval on this one, normally we don't have to, but this one feels like it should have it.

So we've got a PSC! We should probably announce this somewhere. And now we can move on to bigger and better proposals.

Thanks everyone.

And record all the votes, thought Chris may of done that ... fixing now.
Going to mark it as active for now, and give it a jira number in any case, Chris can close it and mark it complete when he gets around to it.

Done. Though there's no requirement for a jira task for all GSIPs, and it feels a bit redundant here. I agree most issue will have a jira, but this isn't affecting the code base in the slightest, and it seems like extra overhead.

Cheers,
Jody
