This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 4880 and 3156) --vfIaaQ6mRtnGX5Uq0PGWratHx96ddEPoD Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="Q8lacustAKqf1NkCm0PSeKU744hMjC2WK"; protected-headers="v1" From: FreeBSD Core Secretary <core-secretary@FreeBSD.org> Reply-To: fcp@freebsd.org To: FreeBSD Developers <developers@freebsd.org>, fcp@freebsd.org Cc: 'FreeBSD Core Team' <core@freebsd.org> Message-ID: <f6c69173-bd27-c5a7-7b61-611564fc4d30@FreeBSD.org> Subject: Announcing the 'FreeBSD Community Process' References: <539e27d3-4eca-463a-75d4-667d3fec90f6@FreeBSD.org> In-Reply-To: <539e27d3-4eca-463a-75d4-667d3fec90f6@FreeBSD.org> --Q8lacustAKqf1NkCm0PSeKU744hMjC2WK Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Language: en-GB Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear all, Core has just presented their ideas for a new 'FreeBSD Community Process' at BSDCan. This will provide a more formalized mechanism for proposing and deciding on important or contentious changes within the Project. The idea is to avoid discussions degenerating into an interminable argument on the mailing lists with ultimately no action being taken. The FCP process is modelled on similar ideas in other projects, particularly the Python Enhancement Process (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0001/), the Joyent RFD Process (https://github.com/joyent/rfd/blob/master/README.md), and even the venerable IETF RFC Process (https://www.ietf.org/about/standards-process.html) In summary, anyone wanting to make a change that will result in a non-trivial effect on the FreeBSD User Base, (or retrospectively anyone having backed out a change after running into contention over something that turned out less trivial than they anticipated), should write down what they propose to change, describing what problem they are trying to solve, how they propose to solve it and what consequential impact this will have. Contact the fcp-editors@ mailing list for assistance in getting your proposal into releasable state. The document is then added to the FCP index, committed into the FCP repository and published for discussion. Each FCP proposal is a living document and will be updated to reflect any conclusions resulting during the discussion. Once consensus has been achieved, or the discussion has gone on for enough time, Core will vote on accepting the FCP. Core will be voting according to the mood of the discussion around the proposal. The current state of fcp-0000.md -- the document that defines the FCP process -- can be viewed at https://github.com/freebsd/fcp/blob/master/fcp-0000.md This is a working document and subject to change. We will be applying the FCP process as far as possible to fcp-0000 itself: this message counts as the formal announcement on the fcp@FreeBSD.org mailing list placing fcp-0000 into 'feedback' status. Your contributions are welcome, by email to the fcp@FreeBSD.org mailing list, or by submitting issues or pull requests, or by annotating the fcp-0000.md document text through GitHub. For help with generating a new FCP document and discussion around the FCP process please join the fcp-editors@FreeBSD.org mailing list.
