[Themaintainers] How’s That Open Source Governance Working for You?

[Greg Bloom]

Nathan, this is great!

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 -

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.

Eager to see where these conversations go :)
