Fusion RFC 2 - Bootstrap Fusion PSC

I would like to open up RFC 2 [http://trac.osgeo.org/fusion/wiki/FusionRfc2 
] for comment and general community feedback.

In summary, we would like to create a governing body for the Fusion  
project made up of key stakeholders and other community members that  
makes decisions on behalf of the community operating under the  
guidelines described here:

http://trac.osgeo.org/fusion/wiki/ProjectSteeringCommitteeGuidelines

The initial membership of the committee is small and limited to key  
technical stakeholders.  As the community grows, the PSC will bring on  
active members of the community as formal members to ensure broad  
representation.  Although voting on issues is limited to PSC members,  
all discussions will be public on the fusion developer's list and  
anyone may (and is encouraged to) comment on any issues through the  
fusion developers list.

I propose to leave this RFC open for discussion for one week (until  
May 21) at which time we will adopt it if there is no serious dissent  
from the community.  During that time, any comments on the PSC  
Guidelines will be accepted and integrated into the formal guidelines  
if it makes sense to the initial committee members - i.e. I will add  
the changes if no proposed member objects to proposed changes.  Any  
substantial change in the nature of the guidelines will be open for  
general discussion and may postpone the adoption date to provide  
sufficient time for community feedback.

Thanks for your involvement ...

Paul

Ok, we've had some time to think about this.  I've had a couple of  
minor comments on some parts which I have integrated:

* clarified that anyone may propose changes and request a vote on a  
change, not just PSC members (but only PSC member votes count)

* added a statement indicating that proposals may require an RFC at  
the discretion of the PSC, with RFCs being required for changes to the  
PSC itself and for major changes to the code (changing public API,  
technically risky work, changes with wide scope etc)

Since neither change was significant, I don't think that we need to  
wait any longer to vote on this.

I will send a separate email to fusion-users and fusion-dev requesting  
a vote.

Cheers

Paul
