[$] Governing GNOMEs: how the project's technical decision-making is evolving (lwn.net)
<p>Emmanuele Bassi kicked off a project to improve GNOME's technical governance
with a <a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/1034684/">presentation about his
ideas</a> (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3SviPlMyhM">video</a>) at
<a href="https://events.gnome.org/event/259/">GUADEC 2025</a>. His nudging
has led the project to, slowly, work on creating more formal structures for
technical governance. It is adopting a teams structure and looking toward
creating a steering committee, as well as bootstrapping a Request for Comments
(RFC) process. If adopted, GNOME would require RFCs for design, user experience,
architectural, and other changes that carry a major impact on the project.</p>
