Re: Additional govenance guideline doc

Based on suggestions and comments on the threads around sub-project, I suggest we add the following guide for new projects. Most of the content from Anthony. fire away with comments... when we are happy with it, I'll post it. Carl. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Project that wants to join oVirt should follow the following basic guidelines: 1) Project posts an overview page on ovirt.org/wiki, including scope and short term roadmap to ovirt.org wiki. That page is then copied as a

mail to board@ovirt 2) There is an official comment period that lasts for a period of time up to 3 weeks. This time period allows for questions to be enhanced, and the wiki to be improved. Projects can complete this stage faster, however the key is provide enough time for discussion. 3) At any point in this time period, the proposal can be officially withdrawn. 4) At the end of the period or once there seems to be consensus, there is a final call for comments before a vote takes place. If the thread's comments die down, then a VOTE thread can be used to move the process along. Include the following information on the overview wiki page Project name: Project description: Initial scope: Description of how the project meets the oVirt requirements http://www.ovirt.org/governance/adding-a-subproject/ a.) Each project must agree to support the oVirt complete stack (CS) release schedule b.)
