This wiki page is for drafting polices, procedures, and democratic/management of contributing users. This is NOT official and we are planning to write up a proposal to Rubén Rodríguez to ease his burden and further the project. Rubén Rodríguez is the lead developer and project founder.
Purpose: To develop systems, leadership, and reduce the burden on the lead developer.
Process to achieve this goal:
1. Communicate with those interested in participation who have been unable or unwilling to contribute thus far via the Trisquel Forums. Started. Ongoing.
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/what-would-make-you-become-associate-member
2. Document skills, interests, and propose policies and procedures to ensure success of the objective here.
Proposals for leadership structure, roles, and responsibilities:
Board of people not responsible for day to day organisation/leadership although directs the overall project direction (feedback):
Proposed people for this board: Rubén Rodríguez (quidam), lead developer, Christopher Waid (Chris), ?? who else is a dedicated and or got some involvement long term ??
Council: The people on the council would make coordinated decisions on various aspects of the project. These may or may not be the more minor changes. Team leads would ideally be the liaison to the council and most likely also council members due to the current size of the distribution. Who was on the council could be voted on by associate members.
Proposed council members: [ add your name here and a description of skills, background, etc + contact info at the bottom ]
Team leaders: [ what titles / roles do we need? ]
- lead translator, translator
- lead developer, contributing developer, 'newbie' lead developer (for helping new developers)
- documentation lead (to manage, keep up to date, wean, and document)
- marketing / press relations / artwork lead / active in fund raising (to learn about and write up press releases, seek donations, etc)
- systems admin / web lead (manage the back end, drupal, issue permissions, design backup/restore system, revision control, etc)
Problems brought up on the forum and proposed policy/solutions:
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/website-translations (was started, we need to move forward on this)
Problem to solve: People start projects, and then leave, abandoned, disorganised, and unmaintainable.
Proposed policy: Require at least three volunteers before translations can be started (or at least incorporated).
Proposed solution: Start wiki; Record the languages of volunteers. Once we have three contact volunteers to verify participation.
We should setup a calendar/schedule/roadmap. Even a roadmap that we were not constrained to would make it easier to alert translators and others to upcoming releases and meetings. Automation (send emails) would be even better.
>>> looks like a roadmap was started here although very out of date; this should probably have info on when Trisquel releases occur. Probably a job for the lead coordinator/manager: http://trisquel.info/en/wiki/documentation
