OGB activity and Issue management

Final draft

Policy on OGB activity/issue naming, tracking and archival

Issues that come before the OGB for discussion and resolution should be tracked and archived in a consistent manner.

Procedures that implement the above policy for the 2008-2009 board follow:

• Potential items for the agenda should be submitted to http://defect.opensolaris.org using the Community > OGB > Business category
• Any discussion of that issue should be attached to the bugzilla entry, along with all supplementary material.
• Any OGB member, or OGB secretary, can mark an issue as ACCEPTED, should they feel that the item is ready for inclusion on an OGB agenda.
• Proposals for the OGB will be given names of the form OGB YYYY/ccc. The format is the name of the body (OGB), space, the current year (2008), a slash and a sequential issue number (starting with 001 for the first issue raised that year.
• The person ACCEPTing the bugzilla item shall also:
  • Prepend the above proposal name to the DESCRIPTION field in bugzilla
    • Example: OGB 2008/005 - Policy on OGB activity/issue naming, tracking and archival
  • Create a page on the genunix wiki with a page name of the form OGB YYYY/ccc
  • Use the template Template:OGB_ISSUE to populate the wiki page, including annotation about its current status. The Category:OGB_ISSUE page contains a list of all OGB issues.
  • Add the item to the current (or desired) agenda's "Business" section.
• The OGB secretary, having sent out the formal agenda, should mark that issue as FIXINPROGRESS.
• Once the issue has reached a conclusion, the OGB Secretary should
  • Mark the bugzilla issue as either CLOSED FIXED (if approved) or CLOSED WONTFIX (if denied)
  • Tag the wiki page with either Category:OGB_APPROVED or Category:OGB_DENIED so that the corresponding Category:OGB_APPROVED or Category:OGB_DENIED page can be used to list them all.
