Sugar Labs/Governance: Difference between revisions

Line 50:

Any "significant and sustained" contributor to Sugar Labs is eligible for membership. Although it is difficult to specify a precise definition, a [[Sugar Labs/Sugar contributor|contributor]] generally must have contributed to a non-trivial improvement of the Sugar project or Sugar Labs activity. Contributions may be code, documentation, translations, maintenance of project-wide resources, ''running a Sugar deployment'', or other non-trivial activities which benefit Sugar Labs. Membership eligibility is an individual determination: while contributions made in the course of employment will be considered, they will generally be ascribed to the individuals involved, rather than accruing to all employees of a "contributing" corporation. The Membership and Elections Committee will oversee membership applications (Please apply by sending email to members at sugarlabs.org).

~~[Note: is there an officially list already? Who gets to add contributors and are they ever removed? Is the~~ Membership and ~~Election~~ Committee ~~another committee of~~ the ~~Oversight Board without any voting members from the OB?]~~

The Membership and Elections Committee will review the membership list for currency once per year.
