As was discussed on IRC, we should really have a foundation private repo |
| 34 |
to hold all the foundation docs, including the docs Marius referenced. |
| 35 |
That way private documents can be kept private and the next trustees |
| 36 |
have immediate access to all the foundation documents. |
| 37 |
A very important document that needs to be stored is the list of |
| 38 |
foundation members. As part of the proposed bylaws[1], that document |
| 39 |
should include the "name, address, telephone number, and electronic mail |
| 40 |
address of each member"[2]. To facilitate the work of the election |
| 41 |
officials and to prevent any abuse, we should also store a gpg key of |
| 42 |
each member. There's also the issue of the age of a member as underage |
| 43 |
devs cannot serve as a trustee. |
