RfC by David Anderson:
- who is BOINC founder, Software Architect of SETI@home and Research Scientist at University of California, Berkeley
"In July 2017 a committee was formed to propose improvements to the BOINC project.
2 draft documents are now available for discussion and review:
- development workflow and
- governance model.
Please give feedback by replying to this thread or posting to the boinc_dev email list." (see here)
1. "The purpose of a development workflow doc is to make sure that the BOINC platform produces high quality code that solves the problems of its users."
2. The BOINC Project Governance doc "describes the structures and processes governing these activities":
- "BOINC is an open-source middleware system for volunteer computing, originally developed at UC Berkeley.
- BOINC is a meritocratic, consensus-based project.
- Anyone can join the BOINC community and contribute to the project in various ways.
- Those who consistently make positive contributions, as recognized by other contributors and users, can then become part of the decision-making process."
