All
The recent events experienced with the first CO certification application have demonstrated some issues with our procedures, also with Rod going to Australia for a month it is important that others can carry out any necessary administration procedures.
So I propose we quickly put together an internal document outlining all processes and procedures for the operation of the Certified Open web site and the Certification process.
I have this morning produced an outline draft of this document (see attached) comments, contributions and ideas for new sections welcome.
Regards
Bob
Hi all,
I have a question: Why are we not involvling our governance council for these kinds of things? I'm not sure at which level we want to involve them, but think we need to engage them eventually or they will lose interest.
Also I'd like to know how the invitations for the other members of the governance council are coming along.
Regards, Georg
Georg, sorry I'm not on same wavelength with this one? What are you referring to? Re membership of Gov Council, you will remember we said we'd tackle this step by step. I met with two Uk LGov guys today who will lead the LG trial for CO - both would love to be invited But space for only one - so I want to see how the trial and also what is currently going on in UK LG before I push one way. I'd hoped to see Karel de Vriendt from the EC this week but he wasn't available so now plan to see him next Thursday. On suppliers I'm deliberately holding back until they show individually how committed they are - conversations have started. Similarly Deloitte. I understand your concerns but I don't want to jump into appointments whic prove to be premature. The Community ones are solid. Did you get any respoonse from them re request to comment and validate on the questions and process? Rgds G ----- Original Message ----- From: "Georg C. F.

While I agree that caution is due with regards selecting members, we have had various enterprises engaging with CO since before the FSFE/OFE deal. I would suggest that Mike Robinson from DeLoitte, Simon Phipps from Sun and perhaps Nick Davis from IBM would be contenders for engagement. While the governance council is very strongly represented with community interest right now - with both Alan from the kernel and Adriaan from KDE - it is unbalanced without roughly equivalent commercial presence.

I think this document is useful. I also agree with Georg that it would be useful to send this document to the governance council for this input.

If we are going to send it to the governance council I would like to spend a few more days on it, say till end of next week.
I feel we should give the council something more substantial they can comment on, so please give me your ideas for content.

Actually, I think the document in drafting state could usefully be sent to the governance council for their input regarding its further development. It's likely that they will have nothing in particular to say, but inclusion in the drafting of a formal policy document is likely to foster positive feeling towards the programme.
