[PATCH v5 0/3] Significant changes to Xen Project Governance (governance.html) - COMMITTERS PLEASE VOTE ON THE PROPOSAL

[PATCH v5 0/3] Significant changes to Xen Project Governance (governance.html) - COMMITTERS PLEASE VOTE ON THE PROPOSAL

[Lars Kurth]

THIS IS VERSION 5 OF THIS PATCH AND WE ARE READY FOR FORMAL VOTING, UNLESS
SOMEONE OBJECTS. PEOPLE LISTED AS COMMITTERS IN
- https://xenproject.org/developers/teams/hypervisor.html
- https://xenproject.org/developers/teams/xapi.html
PLEASE VOTE BEFORE DEC 2nd

I made some significant proposed changes to governance.html based on a number 
of issues that were raised in a number of surveys last year, and via other 
means, as well as in the recent discussions related to governance.html changes 
(the issue of too many committers in XAPI and XAPI being able to hijack the 
entire project).

In any case, the changes are expressed in 3 patches governance.pandoc,
which is the pandoc source for governance.html:

- Code motion changes to make real patches easier to read
  No content has been changed
  An index was added
  Fixed some minor typos and formatting issues

- Added document containing governance related todo list
  These do not affect this series and are basically a TODO list for myself
    
- Significant changes to decision making; some new roles; minor changes
  Added Goal: Local Decision Making
  Split roles into project wide and sub-project specific roles
  Added new roles: Community Manager, Security Response Team, Leadership Team
  Added RTC Policy
  Added +2 ... -2 scheme for expressing opinions more clearly
  Clarified lazy consensus / lazy voting with examples
  Added Informal Votes or Surveys
  Added Project Team Leadership decisions (majority vote, non-monotonicity)
  Clarified and Adapted Conflict Resolution to previous changes
  Updated Elections to cover new roles and terminology
  Changed Project Wide Decision making (per project, non-monotonicity)
  Clarified scope of Decision making
  Added section on Community Decisions with Funding and Legal Implications
  Modified all other sections which have dependencies on changes above
  Added Per Sub-Project Governance Specialisation
  Fixed some typos
  
The patch series is based on git://xenbits.xen.org/people/larsk/governance.git

You can see the changes in my personal git repo at http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/
?p=people/larsk/governance.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/2016-overhaul-v5

Open Issues to be fixed (but these don't need to be reviewed)
- Fix up tables as these don't render very nicely as html
  Also see http://rapporter.github.io/pander/pandoc_table.html
  
---
Changes since v1
- Agreed and changed counting schemes for lazy consensus/votinh
- Added Community Decisions with Funding and Legal Implications
- Clarified AB role in last resort cases
- Removed comments where superceded by decisions we already made
- Adapted sections with dependencies

Changes since v2
- Fixed minor typographic issues
- Removed comments from the series, as these are distracting
  and make the document harder to review
- Broke out remaining comments that need addressing at some
  point into governance.todo
- Added an extra patch regarding quorum and security team
  members

Changes since v3
- Fixed quorum for global decision making

Changes since v4 (not posted)
- Fixed conversion issues and changelog in document

2.5.4 (Apple Git-61)

[Lars Kurth]

Hi all,

that is now live at https://xenproject.org/governance.html and committed (with manually beautified html to make tables look good) at http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=people/larsk/governance.git;a=summary

At some point probably a blog post is in order, but am too busy right now

Regards
Lars

I wanted to summarise the voting on this proposal so far

v3:
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-08/threads.html#01667

In favour
Jan Beulich
Tim Deegan (agreed on the basis of a fix which was addressed in v5)
Wei Liu

v4:
Not posted. Only fixed formatting issues

v5:
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-11/threads.html#01917

In favour
Konrad R Wilk
Ian Jackson (although was not very explicit)
Stefano Stabellini (see https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2017-02/msg01845.html) 

It does appear to me that the proposal should pass given the votes. I will publish the new version
on Friday or early next week, if I don't get any other opinions. I will also prepare a blog post
with Zibby's help for some point afterwards.

Best Regards
Lars
