Community Simplification, Reorganization, and Infrastructure Issues
Jim Grisanzio
I'm pinging all the OSUG lists to update everyone about important
governance and website migration issues that will come about in the next
six months. All Community and Project leaders will be involved because
we will be moving to a new website and a new community structure, but
the OSUGs will be more directly involved. In the reorganization process,
we created a new collective group called "User Groups" to hold all the
OSUGs, and that will give the user groups the same status as Communities
and Projects. We've discussed this many times before on many lists, but
it's now going to happen. So, OSUGs will have a significantly increased
profile, and that's very cool. There is nothing to do right now but to
be aware that we are getting close. I'll come back when we need action.
