Basic Rules
- Adempiere community support the formation of a OC's structure to organize the business side of Adempiere
Ranking OC's Method
- We assign 100 karma points to each of the OC's
- 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)
- 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.
- People can assign karma points to individuals not listed here (we could forgot somebody that has contributed a lot)
- After the 100 points are distributed somebody tabulates the results (CarlosRuiz has offered to do this work) and publish the initial ranking of contributors
- 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
