[mapguide-psc] Bootstrapping the MapGuide PSC

[Jason Birch]

Hi,
 
That IRC meeting time conflicts with OSGeo WebCom, which I'm chairing :(
I like the time slot though; Tuesday or Thursday works for me on a
recurring basis.
 
Should there be a requirement that any submitted functionality come with
a plan for funding the development, or will this be a purely merit-based
process.  If merit-based, how to we prioritise once the features have
been let past the gate?  On a funding basis?  What if we have some
funding floating around because of generous donations to the project?
 
I think that the voting provision for removing members should be
clarified, and perhaps we should consider another exit strategy in the
case that there is a rogue member that continues to participate, but in
a way that is counter to the goals of the project as a whole.  And yes,
my glass is half-empty.
 
There should be some work done on a proposal template and suggested
evaluation criteria but that's not in scope here.
 
Jason

All,

Welcome to the MapGuide PSC. I created this mailing list as a means for
us to communicate as we get the PSC up and running. The mailing list is
open to all, but I simply added this your e-mail addresses to get things
going. Please review and comment (back to this list) on the PSC
guidelines that can now be found at:
https://mapguide.osgeo.org/psc.html.

I would also like to propose an initial bootstrap meeting of the PSC on
Wednesday at 2:00 PM (EST) / 12:00 PM (MST) / 11:00 AM (PST). The agenda
for that first meeting is:


*	Review and discuss the PSC Guidelines 
*	Development and/or PSC Meetings on IRC 
*	The psc vs dev mailing list. Do we need both? 
*	Initial PSC size and member nominations. 

As per open source custom, the meeting will be held on IRC. For IRC
newbies Chatzilla is probably the best way to get going. It works with
Firefox and once installed you can log onto the channel by pointing your
browser at: irc://irc.freenode.net/#mapguide. You can download Chatzilla
from: http://www.hacksrus.com/~ginda/chatzilla/
<http://www.hacksrus.com/%7Eginda/chatzilla/> .

Daniel you have been included in the PSC mailing list and the meeting
invite so that you can monitor how things progress as we strive to
satisfy our final incubation requirement.

Please let me know if the meeting time works for you and if not please
propose a new time.

Thanks,
Bob
