Proposal v2

Terms

  • Contributor - a member of the Contributors team of the Github LibreTime organisation
  • Maintainer - a member of the Maintainers team of the Github LibreTime organisation
  • Administrator - a member of the Administrator team of the Github LibreTime organisation

Leadership structure

The project is lead by a board of Administrators. This board answers to the Contributors. It decides on the group of Maintainers (with the help of the existing maintainers) and administers the Open Collective. This means that members of the board have administrator accounts on the LibreTime Open Collective.

The maintainers are appointed by the board and are responsible for reviewing and merging patches as described in C4 . They identify and recommend members of the community who should be made Contributors to the board. The board then considers the recommendation before making the final decision.

Projects

Any Contributor, Maintainer or Administrator can propose a project related to LibreTime (demo, website, documentation, feature implementation, etc) that will be funded by the LibreTime Open Collective. All proposals must include an estimated cost. Any additional costs will need additional approval. These proposals are considered by the board and if approved, the Contributor, Maintainer or Administrator can request refunds from the Open Collective by uploading the associated invoices to be approved by the Administrators.

Reimbursements

Any Contributor, Maintainer or Administrator can request reimbursement for costs incurred relating to LibreTime (travel, conference entrance, etc). These requests must occur before the event. The board then considers the request and either approves or denies it. After the event, the Contributor, Maintainer or Administrator must submit an invoice to the Open Collective to be approved by the Administrators.

Changes:

  • Removed Developer from the Reimbursement section title
  • Removed the general vote procedure section. This can be discussed later
  • Added development costs to the projects examples
  • Renamed Hosting Costs to Projects
