 Welcome to the Sahana Policy and PMC WIKI. Here we document policies that have been formally approved by concensus or voting in the community or by the Project Mangement Committee. The Project Management Committee exists to ensure that the community is behaving and governing itself in a manner that is consistent with the objectives of making Sahana a successful free and open source disaster management project. This includes operational, legal and procedural oversight on Sahana releases. Getting into the PMC mainly requires that you contribute significantly to the project. Still most of our decisions will be a result of public input from the community and we strive to reach concense such that we can all move forward togeather. Welcome to the Sahana Policy and PMC WIKI.

 +==== September 2008 ====
 +  * It was decided to change the policy of having all committers becoming PMC members and start using a more hierarchal structure of user->contributor->committer->PMC member - Community Lazy Concensus. Details of these level are specified in the new [[http://wiki.sahana.lk/doku.php?id=policy:committership_policy | Sahana Meritocracy Policy]]. //Justification: The requirement for PMC membership is stricter than for committership, however we wanted to recognize contributors at all levels, including non-technical ones//
