[OSM-talk] Enough is enough: disinfecting OSM from poisonous people

[steve brown]

Hey

So while I am by no means! an expert in the workings of the ubuntu
community, I can summarise as follows from
http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/governance:

The Community Council is responsible for the creation of sub-groups
and teams (such as the local chapters and development teams) and helps
make sure they are run in accordance with the code of conduct.
It also is responsible for creation of the code of conduct and
management of it, including ensuring that members follow its
guidelines. It helps sort out disagreements and has a 2 weekly IRC
meeting
It publishes meeting agendas, which can be added to by anyone, and minutes.
See https://launchpad.net/~communitycouncil/+members and
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda and
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncil

The Technical Council in my opinion is currently unneeded by OSM, but
in the same way I summarise:
It selects technologies to use in Ubuntu, from the kernel to GCC and X
server systems.

Steve
