The BeeSeek Community
The first step for a FOSS project is a community. In fact, in the philosophy of Free Software, the project development is public and freely available. So, BeeSeek is based on a community too.
Our community is split in various groups (teams). Everyone manages and develops a bit of BeeSeek.
Each team has a page on Launchpad, an advanced platform for software development and teams organization, and is driven by a Team Leader, which organizes the team and is an intermediary between the team and the Council.
The Council is a group formed by all Team Leaders and the project managers. They are accountable for the BeeSeek project. The Council gives the strategic decisions and manages the general development of the project.
The Structure
The project managers
BeeSeek was a Simone Brunozzi's (ubuntista) idea and so he drives the project. To help him there is Andrea Colangelo (warp10). They coordinate the teams and take part in the Council. Simone Brunozzi has the office for Self Addicted Benevolent Dictator For Life (SABDFL) too.
The council
The Council is composed by our SABDFL plus the five Team Leaders. It is the organism that manage the whole project and has the final word on any decision.
