| '''Activities Modules'''
| | {{warning|This page is no longer current. See [[Modules]] for current module ownership information.}} |
|
| |
| == Overview ==
| |
| Activities [[Modules_and_Module_Ownership|modules]] are a part of Mozilla's [http://www.mozilla.org/hacking/module-ownership.html Module Ownership system], a basic organizing and governance principle of the Mozilla project. (The name "activities" may change. It's a bit too generic and could apply to
| |
| anything, including code modules. If you've got a good idea, please let Mitchell Baker know.)
| |
| | |
| == Governance Module ==
| |
|
| |
| * owner: Mitchell Baker
| |
| * peer(s): Brendan Eich
| |
| * newsgroup: mozilla.governance
| |
| * scope: project-wide
| |
| * governing policy document:
| |
| * responsibilities: Policies and process for how we distribute authority and govern ourselves; including:
| |
| ** Development and Implementation of new policies as appropriate for delegation of authority and responsibility
| |
| ** Management of the source tree
| |
| ** Balancing different constituencies of the Mozilla project
| |
| ** Maintaining the Mozilla identity as we take on new activities
| |
| * other: in the past there has been a group of people deeply involved in these topics regularly. We may create a group for this again as we go forward; perhaps as peers, perhaps as "members", perhaps as advisors.
| |
| * final decision-makers: the final decision maker -- when needed -- for the Mozilla project in technical matters is Brendan Eich and for other matters is Mitchell Baker; this has been the case since 1998 for Brendan and 1999 for Mitchell. I haven't figured out how to capture that clearly here. That authority is broader than "policy and process." I don't know if that is a property that attaches to the owner / peer of the governance module or if it is more personal. It should be stated somewhere clearly though.
| |
| | |
| Due to the large and diverse nature of topics included in the Governance
| |
| module, we will divide responsibilities by sub-module, in order to delegate
| |
| authority for specific pieces and identify particular areas of expertise.
| |
