<div dir="ltr">Nathan, this is great! <div><br></div><div>I've been helping folks in a few related communities (most prominently SustainOSS, and also Aspiration's Nonprofit Tech Dev network) articulate a set of principles for open source commons governance - <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OLjzRT9u-vjswnVj4AVYtmI8-eYkQPszigkYEkzcH-k/edit#heading=h.nweapf4ij2p6">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OLjzRT9u-vjswnVj4AVYtmI8-eYkQPszigkYEkzcH-k/edit#heading=h.nweapf4ij2p6</a> </div><div><br></div><div>We've applied the Ostrom framework for Institutional Analysis and Design, translated those jargony principles into language relevant to open source software maintainers, and now are thinking about how to package this into a useful artifact. Seems like there are a few like-minded initiatives emerging, like Community Rule, for which this framework could be complementary. </div><div><br></div><div>Eager to see where these conversations go :)</div><div>greg</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 9:41 AM Nathan Schneider <<a href="mailto:nathan.schneider@colorado.edu">nathan.schneider@colorado.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

Maintainer friends,<br>
<br>
As it seems there's a growing conversation in this group on
open-source maintenance, I thought I'd share my new little broadside
at Hacker Noon, "<a href="https://hackernoon.com/hows-that-open-source-governance-working-for-you-mphv32ng" target="_blank">How’s
That Open Source Governance Working for You?</a>"<br>
<br>
A fun bit of buried news: The Ethical Source Definition now includes
a provision that groups should make their governance rules
explicit—I think an exciting step forward.<br>
