Overview
ADempiere has always been an open community. If you think of ADempiere as a virtual country - this means there are no border guards - everyone is welcome. You join the community by taking a personal decision to be a part of it. No one can or wants to stop you from taking this decision - in fact we wish that as many people as possible make the choice to join this community.
In the Berlin Conference 2007, we recognised that the decision making process could be improved in the community and this prompted us to think about who was in the community. We recognise that there are many people, end users, system integrators, students, technology enthusiasts, industry and technical experts. In order to improve the decision making process we felt it was important to define and agree how decisions should be taken.
Community Definition
We propose that the community includes people who are more active and people who are less active. For example, some people may come to the community and make a valuable contribution, but for what ever reason may decide not to participate actively again. This can cause problems with a formal decision making process.
We recognise all people as part of the community - you need only to make your own decision to join. We have proposed to recognise people who are more active by granting the privilege of ADempiere citizen. An ADempiere citizen will be granted certain rights but will also agree certain obligations. People are free to apply for citizenship as long as they agree with these rights and obligations.
Citizen Rights
- You have the right to vote in all elections
- You have the right to renounce or give up your citizenship
Citizen Obligations
- Citizen's should use their vote
- Citizen's should read and agree to the Project Charter
- Citizen's should be subscribed and read on a regular basis the Citizen Mailing List
