The First Plone Steering Circle Meeting
Twenty-two people from around the world attended the first in a series of meetings to discuss community governance
The Initiative
Last month the Plone Foundation Board of Directors announced a new initiative to review and refresh the Plone community ‘s governance. Two concrete actions are being taken, with more to follow based on the resulting discussions.
- A series of Steering Circle meetings will be held to discuss the issues and plot a way forward.
- Beginning at the November Plone Conference, the Board will set up a series of open discussions about the organizational structure of all our projects. All community members will be welcome!
This initiative is described in more detail in the Board‘s statement on the Plone governance process.
