Projects that make their rules explicit would see more participation
When we say that a something is "open," we generally highlight its transparency or visibility. But openness is also inherently linked with collaboration and, as such, with the way people work together. Collaboration involves dealing with issues such as the organization of work and the allocation of decision rights—in a nutshell, all that we normally call a "governance model."
For open communities and other organizations, making these governance models explicit is key for several reasons. First, it helps promote an organization's sense of transparency. One could know how much time a group takes to consider an issue, the chances contributions have of making an impact on the organization, or who is going to hear their voices when they speak up. Second, explicitly defining a governance model may also help one better understand and classify how open organizations are driven. In other words, governance models reveal clues about the particular distributions of power and authority inherent to an organization (e.g., democracy, meritocracy, (benevolent) dictatorship, etc.). For instance, the study of specific governance models could shed some light on the definition of meritocracy in the context of open source (a controversial topic still under discussion).

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
