Summary

-

There was an open meeting for 3 hours at aKademy 2005 discussing how to make working groups for KDE and allow e.V. to give KDE technical guidance, as agreed at the e.V. assembly last Friday. The idea of the working groups is to create a structure which will formalise some roles within KDE and enhance coordination within KDE, communication between parts of KDE and delegation. In doing so they will be able to make decisions and perform conflict resolution. The meeting brainstormed a list of groups and brought it down to four groups with various responsibilities (show mind map). The "non-technical administration" group was later dropped because it covered most areas that are the direct responsibility of the e.V. board. There was some discussion about whether we should go with the groups that came out of the discussion following the brainstorm or groups that are self-forming, it was decided to go with the former. There will be meetings a few times a year with 1 person f rom each working group and the e.V. board to report back on their areas of KDE. Decisions will be made by the e.V. membership at the highest level, the e.V. board plus working group Representatives next and the working groups themselves below that (with the normal bazaar development below that). Most decisions will be taken at the lowest levels, escalating as needed. Three groups are now going to decide how to form each group, technical, marketing and human-computer interaction and proposals for each group will be brought back to the e.V. soon.
