|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These policies are discussed in public with Conservancy's member projects and
|
|
|
|
|
other Conservancy enthusiasts on
|
|
|
|
|
[the polices-discuss mailing list](http://lists.sfconservancy.org/mailman/listinfo/policies-discuss).
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
The 'master' branch in this repository denotes the current polices that are
|
|
|
|
|
in-effect for the Software Freedom Conservancy, Inc. Proposals are made by
|
2016-07-19 23:39:33 +00:00
|
|
|
people in
|
|
|
|
|
[pull requests on k.sfconservancy.org](https://k.sfconservancy.org/policies/pull-request),
|
|
|
|
|
and then if the [Conservancy staff](https://sfconservancy.org/about/staff/)
|
|
|
|
|
plans to propose them to
|
2014-12-05 15:32:19 +00:00
|
|
|
[Conservancy's Board of Directors](https://sfconservancy.org/about/board/),
|
|
|
|
|
they are merged into the 'ready-for-board-approval' branch. Once approved by
|
|
|
|
|
the Board of Directors, Conservancy staff merges the changes into the
|
|
|
|
|
'master' branch.

Proposing A Change
|
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you would like to propose a change in Conservancy's official policies,
|
|
|
|
|
please submit a
|
|
|
|
|
[pull request on k.sfconservancy.org](https://k.sfconservancy.org/policies/pull-request).
|
|
|
|
|
Since Kallithea's workflow is confusing to some, Conservancy will accept
|
|
|
|
|
[pull requests on GitHub](https://github.com/conservancy/policies/pulls), but
|
|
|
|
|
the latter will only be accepted from members of Conservancy Project
|
|
|
|
|
Leadership Committees.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you've created a pull request, post a message summarizing your reasons
|
|
|
|
|
for the change to
|
|
|
|
|
[the polices-discuss mailing list](http://lists.sfconservancy.org/mailman/listinfo/policies-discuss).
|
|
|
|
|
(Note that anyone is permitted to join the list, and posts by
|
|
|
|
|
non-list-members are held in moderation.) Participate in discussion there,
|
|
|
|
|
and Conservancy staff will either explain why the change isn't possible, or
|
|
|
|
|
will merge it into the 'ready-for-board-approval' branch, and will present
|
|
|
|
|
the change at the next Conservancy Board of Directors meeting.

Using These Policies Elsewhere
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other organizations are encouraged and welcome to create forks of this
|
|
|
|
|
repository for their own policies at their organization. We ask that
|
|
|
|
|
Conservancy's name be removed from any forks that you make to avoid
|
|
|
|
|
confusion. We've licensed these policies [CC-0](CC0-1.0.txt) to make it easy
|
|
|
|
|
to incorporate the text into other documents, but ask that you nevertheless
|
|
|
|
|
respect our wishes and remove our name from your forked versions. Thanks!
|
