Thanks Jim for all the effort in helping get the project together, in regard to non-strategic (see ovirt.org/board) new members I believe we should vote them on based on merit. Carl.

Have there been any new members added? It might be worth planning on doing an official call for nomination instead of waiting for someone to be nominated. Regards, Anthony Liguori

yes, I think we should do this. I'm going to suggest we get it rolling in a week or so. 11th of July would be good so as not to have people out, or keep it open a weeks given vacation 4th July on our next meeting. Carl.

I think it would be great to send a broad "reminder" that people can nominate individuals for the board. It should include a description of what the qualifications of a board nominee should be. I think then we should then schedule a vote for the board. I agree, it should be after the July 4th week. But I think the note could/should go out before then. Honestly, I have no background in terms of how this works in other communities so it's not at all clear to me what qualifies someone to be on the board. I think even just a discussion about that may be a good place to start. Regards, Anthony Liguori
Carl.

In the case of oVirt, the structure is not to consider Board seats to be a restricted resource - it's OK to add people regularly without worrying about the growth pattern (as long as it increases over time rather than the reverse.) As an example of what is going on right now, the Infra team is working on being a formal sub-project, which would mean those of us who are maintainers there (TBD) would be the eventual Board members. But the formal sub-project pathway is currently only written for code-focused projects, so we'll need to run some revisions by the Board. Once that is done, we can be voted on as a sub-project and put in incubation (of some sort.) Then at e.g. next quarter's (or month's) Board vote, we might become a full sub-project, thus elevating all maintainers to Board level. - - Karsten - -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Analyst - Community Growth http://community.redhat.com .^\ http://TheOpenSourceWay.org @quaid (identi.ca/twitter/IRC) \v. gpg: AD0E0C41 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFP9dT62ZIOBq0ODEERAqtbAJ4gBfMYyFXVIV5HjKVXGKyrPSmmHACgvsNU gxVwyFdRof0bjagSZDeqMc4= =4Dls -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Thanks for the feedback, Carl. I agree that I'm pretty new to the project and need to make a name for myself in the project before I could hope to join the board. As background, I did contact Jim after his email to suggest that there was still a need for a mentor resource for the board, and that I'd be happy to do that. Having discussed it with you & Itamar, I don't think I need to be on the board to participate in that way, though.

FWIW, that has worked for me. I made sure I wasn't shoe-horned on to the Board to start since I had zero merit in this project coming in, and I'd argue that mentoring has been one of the areas of merit for me over time. (My current planned pathway to the Board is via being a maintainer of the Infra sub-project.) - - Karsten - -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Analyst - Community Growth http://community.redhat.com .^\ http://TheOpenSourceWay.org @quaid (identi.ca/twitter/IRC) \v. gpg: AD0E0C41 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFP9dVy2ZIOBq0ODEERAganAKCY7ovXsTyWQeVOGSyM9aGCNw+TFwCffg1k RXBHPLQmY4MGgbMsHR6mp/E= =OD5R -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
