25 Minute Presentation - In Person Project Organisation and Governance

Description

Turns out that governance of a large project like GNOME is not something you can improvise in an afternoon. You get to roll it out and then figure out what works and what doesn't. As the GNOME governance is loosey-goosey already, we start with the application development platform, by describing the Platform Team, as the group that governs the various components of the GNOME software development platform, used to build GNOME itself, as well as the various projects that target GNOME.

Author(s) Bio

Emmanuele has been working in the GNOME project for more than 20 years, most of them spent in the platform libraries. He's been working towards a new model of governance for the past two years.
