From 751551bf0a7f88c028f534ccd1810fee86e79f6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Mark T. Voelker" Date: Sun, 10 May 2015 22:20:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Clean up GovernanceProcess to reflect reality In the DefCore Scale cycle, we moved some older process documents out of the OpenStack wiki and into Gerrit in order to more easily maintain them. The original imports were largely a "lift and shift" of the wiki text, with improvements and cleanups to be driven later. The Governance Process document in particular is quite dated and contains information that has changed substantially over time. This patch attempts to clean it up by modfiying it to reflect current reality while also maintaing some flexibility for the future. For example, we haven't used Google Hangouts for meetings in many months, so the patch simply states that meetings will be open and the means to join them will be posted on the wiki and/or mailing list (thus allowing us to use other collaboration tools in the future without needing to ammend process).
