nominations
by Carl Trieloff
We had said we would start the discussion around project nominations.
Let me frame the discussion and then we can all jump in.
Firstly, there are two types of nominations
- Contributor
- Board
Let's make sure we have the criteria agreed and then we can do the
nomination based on the criteria.
For Contributor nominations I believe the criteria should be along these
lines
- Candidate should have contributed over a period and know to the
community via lists/IRC/patches etc, and align with the project
- Contributions should be considered substantive enough. (Contributions
can be from patches, to doc, to helping out, doing infra etc)
Notes:
- As the project is newer, we can be more lax on the duration and size
of contribution, and as the project matures we can raise the bar. This
is common practice with many projects I've worked with or started.
For Board nominations I believe the criteria should be along these lines
- Individual should have become known in the project and respected by
more than one sub-project
- Individual should have contributed to the well being on the project
beyond code/doc contributions. These 'beyond' contributions can be
around help evangelise the project, running meet-ups, organizing events,
soliciting additional strategic board members, looking after the well
being of the project etc.
- Individual should have contributed over a period of time.
regards,
Carl.

Request to step down
by Jim Jagielski
I feel the need for a Mentor-as-board-member slot is no longer
required. I therefore ask to step down, unless the rest of the
board feels otherwise.

oVirt Workshop at LinuxCon North America
by Leslie Hawthorn
Hello everyone,
Following up from this week's IRC meeting, we've asked the Linux
Foundation to replicate the agenda from LinuxCon Japan on the LC North
America site. That's in process, but they'd like us to get the names and
bios of our confirmed speakers to them no later than next Wednesday, 27
June 2012.
I'll leave it to everyone to wrangle about who would like to speak and
cover particular sessions. My goal with this workshop is to have a more
diverse speaker line up, so please do volunteer if you're attending
LinuxCon North America and would be willing to lead a session(s).
