OGB 2008/008

From Genunix

Approved at 7 April 2008 OGB Meeting

What to do with the website?

(For Background and history, see Talk:OGB_2008/008)

Today, we

• Have a web editorial board that has no editorial policy,
• Have no Website Community Group
• Have nobody (within the Community or within Sun) that feels empowered to take responsibility for the website.
• Have an increasingly stagnant community website that nobody wants to touch.

Proposal

To remedy this situation, the Board asks Michelle Olson to lead the construction of a full Website Community Group Proposal 2008. In the interim, the Board

• acknowledges that the following list of page editors have the ability and responsibility to maintain the website, and presumes that they will use that ability wisely.
  • Michelle Olson
  • Derek Cicero
  • Jim Grisanzio
  • Patrick Finch
• notes that the OGB will - as always - listen to complaints
• suspends operation of the Website Editorial Board (under the presumption that the current members will be active on website-discuss and will engage over new edits) so that the freshness and relevance of the site can be restored and maintained
