I'm not opposed to rethinking this, because the previous launch effort
kind of ran aground. So, thanks for opening this up.
A few initial questions...
Previously, CommArch was a Red Hat internal group. The intention here
is for the new group with that name to be a _community_ group, right?
Yes, the new Community _______ Team would be a _community_ group. There are pros and cons
in trying to re-use the "Community Architecture" name. I used it here for a
couple of reasons: 1) It is somewhat understand what "commarch" means, whereas
there is confusion around what "outreach" means (from the conversations I've
had)
2) It is a wheel that already existed, so I felt more comfortable proposing it be
'revamped/revived' rather than creating an entirely 'new' entity.
but
It seems like since this group has a pre-existing identity, it may fall under the same
problem as calling it an "outreach" team... so my secondary moniker would be
"Community Relations Team," though I don't feel that fully represents the
"building of infrastructure and tooling" piece that the Community _______ Team
would be working towards. I still prefer Commarch, but if there is too much
dissonance/confusion, I'm willing to pick a name with less legacy.
Also, if the only point of FOSCo is to handle budgetary requests,
why
not just have that be the Council directly?
In your document, I'm unclear if the sections on Delegation, Operating
Principles, etc., is meant to apply to the New CommArch or to the
"narrowed FOSCo". I *think* it's meant to be CommArch and doesn't
address the FOSCo bit, right? In which case, maybe the previous
question answers itself....
Yes, this expansive list of things that follow (Delegation, Operating Principles, etc...)
applies to the Community ______ Team, not FOSCo.
Hope This Helps,
--RemyD.
