10 . The only role distinction within the _LEDE_ project is between committers
11 and non-committers, there is no core developer group or other specially
12 privileged members.
13 . All committers have the right to vote and are invited to liberally exercise
14 this voting right in order to keep a broad consensus on project matters.
15 . Project matters, overall development directions etc. are decided by simple
16 majority votes. Votes may be held in different ways like simple yes/no
17 decisions, majority decisions among multiple proposed choices etc.
18 . Committers being unreachable for three months in a row shall get their
19 commit and voting rights revoked in order to retain the ability to do
20 majority votes among the remaining active committers.
21 . There shall be only full commit rights in any case, no partial access or
22 otherwise restricted access to the repositories.
23 . Frequent contributors may become committers after a simple majority
24 agreement among existing committers. Project members are free to suggest
25 suitable people.
26 . Any votes and decisions made will be made public on the project websites.
27 . Project infrastructure should be outsourced FOSS community operated
28 services whenever possible in order to allow project members to focus on
29 actual development efforts.
30 . Any infrastructure that cannot be outsourced and/or is operated by the
31 project itself shall be administrable by at least three different people
32 to reduce the likelyhood of the project getting locked out due to operators
33 being unreachable. Responsible operators for the various services shall be
34 documented publicly.
35 . The project will not offer email accounts under its project domain for
36 privacy and equality reasons.
37 . Changes to these rules require a two third majority among the committers
38 holding voting rights and shall be documented.
39 . Be nice to eachother.
