The Sahana Product Development Project Management Committee has been established as a Coordination Project of the Sahana Software Foundation, with responsibilities for coordinating deliverables across Sahana technical projects and products, including initially the following existing Sahana products: Sahana Eden, Sahana Mayon, Sahana Vesuvius and Sahana Kilauea.
Sahana products governed by this PMC are to include any work of art that:
- is promoted as a supported Product by a vote of the PMC.
- Is wholly contained in a Master Branch, a read-only public revision-controlled repository that constitutes the most recent, canonical state of a particular product in its entirety (also known as trunk), that is publicly accessible and hosted (along with any Release Branches, [read-only, public, revision-controlled repositories that contain snapshots of a product taken at intermittent points in time and indicated by a unique identifier]), on the Foundation’s infrastructure or a public revision-control system in an account owned or otherwise fully controlled by an Officer of the Foundation and administered by the PMC.
- Possesses at least one (1) publicly-accessible support channel administered by the PMC.
- Uses an OSI-approved open-source license for all original work and OSI-compatible licenses for any derivative or redistributed work.
- Contains code in its Master Branch and Release Branches that comes only from Project Contributors who have signed a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) or is otherwise the intellectual property (copyright and patent license) of the Sahana Software Foundation through a Software Grant Agreement (SGA).
Responsibilities: The mission of the Sahana Products PMC is to provide an infrastructure that enables creativity, encourages best-practices, lowers the barriers to entry, and facilitates communication in support of the development and deployment of Sahana Software Foundation products supported by the PMC.
In service of this mission, the PMC will:
- Provide oversight of the products, ensure that all legal issues are addressed, that procedure is followed, and that each and every release is the product of the community as a whole.
- Ensure the long term development and health of the community as a whole, and to ensure that balanced and wide scale peer review and collaboration does happen.
- Communicate with stakeholders, domain experts and users.
- Coordinate with other Sahana Software Foundation Committees and Projects.
The Sahana Products Project Management Committee is responsible for:
- The administration and support of Master Branch and Release Branches of all products promoted by the PMC.
- Facilitating communication within the project membership and between the project and other Sahana Software Foundation entities.
- Coordinating release schedules with the Sahana Software Foundation CEO and any designated marketing team.
- Nominating a Chair, by election, from the members of the PMC.
- Appointing Master and Release Branch Managers, responsible for approving and administering merges into promoted product branches, and Support Managers, responsible for routing product support requests to the appropriate support channel, from amongst the project contributors.
- Ensuring that any use of the Sahana name by a product promoted by this Committee adheres to the Naming Conventions for Sahana Projects and receives board approval.
- Publicizing its motions and decisions to all project members.
