Governance

The ReDBox and Mint systems are both Open Source software and we'd like to ensure that efforts to develop the system are as transparent as possible. 

Communication

Primary communication channels:
(1 The Fascinator is the underlying platform on which ReDBox and Mint are built)

Technical governance

In order to build a stable software product, a Technical Management Committee (TMC) provides support to the development community. 

Current TMC members

The TMC comprises of the following members:

Meeting details

Meeting arrangements are posted to the development mailing list: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/redbox-dev/DVgNUgXOK_4/discussion 

All members of the ReDBox and Fascinator communities are welcome to attend these meetings. It's not a hugely formal meeting but we have limited time. This means we'll take a Pig & Chicken approach with TMC members being pigs - no insult intended :) (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chicken_and_the_Pig).


Basic etiquette:

  • The members of the TMC have the floor for discussion but community members are welcome to listen in. 
  • Non-TMC members should have their mic and webcam muted and do not generally contribute to the meeting 
  • ... unless they are directly addressed by a TMC member or listed against a discussion item. 
  • If you disagree with something please use the mailing list(s) to raise your concerns
  • If you would like to raise a discussion item, please email either [email protected] or [email protected] with an agenda item.
