Community Blueprint idea
by Ildiko Vancsa 15 Dec '22

15 Dec '22

Hi, I'm reaching out to you as a follow up to one of the ideas that was brought up during the OpenInfra Board of Directors (BoD) meeting in Berlin on June 6, called Community Blueprint. The prupose of this email is to raise awareness of the activities around the idea and invite you to participate in next steps, if you are interested. A few of us from the OpenInfra Foundation staff and BoD met recently to discuss the idea in a bit more details and identify goals and next steps. Highlights from our conversation include: * Goals - Create a playbook that new projects can use to make well-informed choices in areas such as licensing, governance, community structure and more - Beyond documenting processes and tools, the playbook will also discuss expectations, i.e.: what commitments the project founders will have, what the ecosystem and community expects from them - The playbook is intended to be used by prospective new OpenInfra projects, and in addition showing thought leadership in the open source ecosystem * Playbook documents - Target audience + 1st stage: Managers and executives to understand what it means and entails to do something in open source + 2nd stage: Contributors and developers - Seed content: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/hflJmbl2SGsD0Pkkr-Sa - Repository: https://opendev.org/openinfra/way * Further background - We went through an overview of the original idea that was targeting the balance and sustainability of the open source ecosystem, and the OpenInfra Foundation's opportunity to provide guidance to our current and prospective projects as well as the ecosystem at large - We looked into the history of long-existing open source projects as well as the current trend of mass-creation of new projects + Experienced contributors can help build and maintain community culture + New projects without experienced members can easily become dysfunctional without the community noticing —> These models are also replicating in the current ecosystem by projects following bad examples * Next steps - Use the new Git repository and seed content linked above to start outlining the document structure and content For more detailed notes of our conversation please see the following etherpad: https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/community-blueprint If you have any question or would like to participate in the effort please reply to this thread or reach out to me directly. Thanks and Best Regards, Ildikó ——— Ildikó Váncsa Senior Manager, Community & Ecosystem Open Infrastructure Foundation
