SME Server Project Leadership Restructure Effort

This page shall serve as an overview and agenda for the effort to re-establish the leadership structure for the SME Server project. It will be updated as necessary to reflect the state of the restructuring effort, the current plan of action, and the community members who are involved with this effort.

Background

The SME Server project is governed by SME Server:Constitution. This constitution and the leadership structure it sets out are essentially defunct. This defunct governing document and associated leadership structure have hampered the overall leadership of the project.

In recent months, a movement has begun to fix this defunct leadership structure so that the SME Server project can live a long and prosperous life.

Plan of Action

  • Elect and Interim Board of Directors;
  • Evaluate the current Constitution and update it to better serve the SME Server project and community;
  • Evaluate the current SME Server, Inc. non-profit corporation to determine if this entity is the best entity for the community moving forward;
  • Implement the new leadership structure.

Current Status

  • Setting up an Oregon non-profit corporation called SME Server Foundation, Inc.;
  • Revising the Constitution.

Interim Board of Directors

  • Greg J. Zartman,P.E.
  • Peter Walter
  • Charlie Brady
