Objectives

  1. Write basic rules for OC's voted in Adempiere community
  2. Define the rules for the management of the OC's
  3. Define rules base on initial idea and IRC discussion
  4. Serve as result document for OC's initial meeting

Basic Rules

  1. Adempiere community support the formation of a OC's structure to organize the business side of Adempiere

Ranking OC's Method

  1. We assign 100 karma points to each of the OC's
  2. Each person send an e-mail to a tabulation-collecting address distributing the 100 points to the others (nobody can assign karma points to him/her-self)
  3. The 100 points must be distributed according to the feeling of each person about which contributor has contributed more - or according to the feeling of which contribution is better. There is no absolute need to explain or sustain the distribution of points of each person, is a personal decision.
  4. People can assign karma points to individuals not listed here (we could forgot somebody that has contributed a lot)
  5. After the 100 points are distributed somebody tabulates the results (CarlosRuiz has offered to do this work) and publish the initial ranking of contributors
  6. After the ranking is done we schedule a meeting with the top ranked contributors to discuss the next steps about incentives and future commitment of contributors
