管理と意思決定
This page describes the governance model used by official contributors to the Arch Linux distribution, including the role of the leader and the process by which decisions are made.
中心となる主義
The Arch Linux distribution is a volunteer-based effort which relies on its contributors' motivation, free time and hard work. To facilitate contributions, its governance model strives to be as simple and frictionless as possible.
Its core tenets are that:
- Anyone should be free to contribute to any aspect of the distribution.
- Decisions concerning a particular project should be made by people actively involved in that project.
Projects are thus led by the contributors involved in almost complete autonomy. Only when an issue arises among project contributors or when the directions of two projects conflict, is the process below required.
一般的な意思決定手順
The general process to resolve an issue is as follows:
- The issue is discussed on the relevant mailing list. If this discussion reaches consensus, the corresponding decision is made.
- If (and only if) consensus cannot be reached, the leader makes the final decision.
Each category of official contributors is free to adopt a different process than the above to resolve internal matters; they are mentioned below where applicable. Issues of concern to more than one category must be resolved using the general process above.
公式貢献者のカテゴリ
Official contributors to the Arch Linux distribution are split in four mutually non exclusive categories:
プロジェクトリーダー
The leader's main roles are to:
- Represent Arch Linux in a legal capacity. For instance, they act as contact for SPI, approve expenses, enforce our trademark, etc.
- Make the final decision when (and only when) the community is unable to resolve an issue using the process described above.
See en:DeveloperWiki:Project Leader for further information on these roles and on the project leader election process.
