Re: [location-iwg] Minutes from June 19th meeting
|
Dave,
Good points, thank you. And based on the comments in yesterdays call,
others feel similarly. I'll make the change.
While this may diminish the direct clout of Location working group (LWG)
strategic members since they won't be alone on the steering committee, I
do think it has good potential to increase value overall with all
parties represented. Including more perspectives will increase moral
authority of the steering committee.
And frankly, what we're aiming at is how Eclipse itself works and
there's ample evidence this model works well. You're right that I used
Polarsys as a template and it is slightly different than the LWG.
Also, I'm going to make the change to consistently call the top member
in the LWG strategic members to avoid confusion since others can be
elected to the Steering committee.
I'll reply back to the list today once I've made changes for people to
review.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for this - to echo some of the sentiments previously, I think having committers eligible for election to the various committees makes a lot of sense in our case.
I had a look at the Polarsys charter where I think this was templated from? In their case - the emphasis of the group is more on long term support and reliable availability of software which is quite different then what we have here in Location. I suspect in that situation, the role of the committers is less critical from a decision making and direction standpoint -- which is why we might have a difference in our charter.
I suppose the risk is that this would dilute the value of membership - but overall, my sense is that the value probably outweighs the risks in this case.
