[$] Changing GNOME technical governance?

Date:
Thu, 28 Aug 2025 09:01:58 +0000

Description:
The GNOME project , which recently celebrated its
28th birthday , has never had a formal technical governance; progress
has been driven by individuals and groups that advocated forand worked
towarda particular goal in an ad hoc fashion.  Longtime GNOME contributor
Emmanuele Bassi would like to see that change by adding cross-project teams
and a steering committee for the project; to that end, he gave a talk ( 
YouTube
video ) at GUADEC 2025 in late July on his idea to establish some technical 
governance for the
project. He also put together a blog
post with his notes from the talk.  The audience reaction was
favorable, so he has followed up on the GNOME discussion forum with an RFC on
governance to try to move the effort along.
