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:

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 !
