Project Management Committee (PMC) meeting notes

May 21, 2018

All @PMC members were present.

  • Mission and values - https://github.com/opendatakit/governance
    • Officially adopted
  • Website proposal - Should renaming come before the website launch?
    • Richard: Suggestion of launch on Friday, May 25, 2018.
    • Carl: Launch of Friday OK.
    • Waylon: I agree that sooner than June 15th, we have had a long process already seeking website feedback and don’t want to restart that. However, we should give a week (29th) so people can clarify any wording, help to decrease confusion, or bring up other concerns.
    • Yaw: OK with 29th.
  • Naming
    • Yaw: Will start a thread for PMC to post suggestions to start.
    • Waylon: Suggest post a process to the forum, invite the community to give suggestions. One strawman of the process is to post a survey to gather suggestions, PMC consults with ODK 1 TSC and ODK 2 devs to produce a small list with a few options. Finally, post the remaining options for the community to chose.
    • Richard: Gather suggestions, PMC discusses, set of options go back out the community. Concern that discussion re: process prevents starting.
      • Propose separate thread
    • Waylon: Will post to start the process thread asking some questions and go from there.
  • Next steps
    • Yaw: Post date on the forum. Same review and merge process as before.
      • If Yaw/Waylon don’t agree. Require tie-breaker from a member of the PMC.
      • Richard/Carl will be around for tie-breaking (hopefully not needed).
    • Waylon: Post starts the process thread. Will invite others.
