2. Active Contribution : You exchange the code to fix
3. Institutional Neutrality : It don’t has any right
4. COMMUNITY DECISION
• First, ensuring people contribute their knowledge because broad community is
the best!
• Don’t consensus these things
1. that we wait to solicit everybody’s opinion on every change,
2. that we ever hold a vote on anything,
3. or that everybody is happy or agrees with every decision.
6. NEED TO INVOKE A FORMAL VETO
• Consist of
1. an unambiguous statement that a veto is being invoked
2. an explanation of why it is being invoked
3. a description of what conditions (if any) would convince the vetoer to withdraw
their veto
Then status quo wins by default!
In the worst case, contributor is ejected from project
7. STEERING COUNCIL
• Project has council which one is contributed about 1 years
• Members participate in all activities as a peers with other contributors
• But, members help guideline or technic
• If formal decision is needed, using apache foundation voting process
• If council member don’t do about project, they will be removed.
