[OOTB-hive] OrderOfTheBee Manifesto

[Daren Firminger]

Dear Bee's Well, activities within the Order and communication on this 
mailing list have been in hibernation for quite a while! With the recent 
acquisition by Hyland though, we have had some interesting discussions 
which lead to a topic on which we would like the Order to start buzzing 
again. With regards to our ongoing dialogue with Hyland, it was thought 
that having a manifesto more detailed than our high level goals and 
values could help to openly and transparently communicate to Hyland both 
our individual commitment to engage with and within the community, and 
our hopes and implied expectations for how Hyland engages with us. In 
drafting such a manifesto, we would also have a chance ourselves to 
reflect on the Order's values, goals, and what each of us may want from 
a relationship with Hyland as the new owner of Alfresco. In order get 
the ball rolling, we have compiled a draft in collaboration with various 
members of the community, but want all members to be able to engage and 
contribute on this. We have created a PR in our web site GitHub project 
for a more document-centric discussion than would be possible on this 
list: https://github.com/OrderOfTheBee/OrderOfTheBee.github.io/pull/23

While the manifesto can be read with any comments via

https://github.com/OrderOfTheBee/OrderOfTheBee.github.io/pull/23/files

the current raw draft can be found at 
https://github.com/OrderOfTheBee/OrderOfTheBee.github.io/blob/1c08ba6298b8501256ea9bb9bfbb1f178a1e4012/about/AlfrescoCommunityManifesto.md 
Please take the time to read and comment on this draft, so we can add 
things we may have missed or adapt aspects on which there may be 
dissent. Our hope is that we can come to a generally agreed version to 
put on our site, and then address it with Hyland. Keep buzzing ! Axel, 
Daren, Younes, Douglas, Mikel OrderOrTheBee Board
