Open Floor

Meetings

FAmSCo meets weekly on IRC to discuss the business at hand.

Governance

Most decisions in FAmSCo are made through a process known as "lazy approval", in which general consent is assumed unless valid objections are raised.

Decision making is done on a +1 / +0 / -1 system in FAmSCo meetings or trac tickets. Votes casted in a meeting will be aggregated and added to the trac ticket by the minutes keeper.

The timeframe for voting is seven days. If no negative votes (-1) are recorded within this timeframe, the proposal passed, even if there was no quorum.

In the event that there IS a negative vote by any member, that member must explain their thinking or logic behind their vote within the seven days timeframe.

FAmSco will revisit the topic again and decide how to proceed. FAmSCo members are free to change their earlier votes if they consider the concerns that have been brought up valid. This time, simple majority is required, that means at least four positive votes (+4), or three positive votes (+3) and no negative votes (-1).

When consensus can't be reached, FAmSCo may ask the Fedora Council to decide on a resolution. Such a request can be made when issues leading to negative votes are outstanding and all FAmSCo members agree that the FAmSco is deadlocked, or if the dispute is unresolved after fourteen days and a simple majority of FAmSCo members are in favor of the request.

Reports

FAmSCo issues monthly reports on their work, which can be found on the FAmSCo category page.

Mailing List

The 2010 FAmSCo's first action was to make the committee's list archives public. The old FAmSCo list was retired, and a new one was created.

Elections

The FAmSCo elections are held each release as part of the larger Fedora Project elections.
