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.

Carl.
