Re: GNOME Project Organogram

["Quim Gil" <quimgil gmail com>]

Sorry for missing this email with this interesting organigram.

Your proposal is totally code-centric, considering GNOME only code and
circunven ti it to the Release Team. It's a perspective and probably
nobody can tell you it's wrong.

However, while GNOME is Code the community is realizing that GNOME is
People (yes, that meme) as well. I would draw perhaps a bi-polar
structure with the release team & developers in one side, and the
board & membership of the GNOME Foundation in another side, having
around the respective teams/areas.

A good diagram reflecting the GNOME project would be really useful to
explain GNOME to others and even to ourselves. If you or someone else
comes up with a cool proposal we will put it in the revamped wgo.
