Principia / DevOps / leadership and governance

[Juan Negron]

Hi all:

This all sounds good to me.
I would argue that inclusion criteria be very well documented as to avoid a
repeat of the UbuntuContributingDeveloper's last meeting in IRC where there
was a huge discussion about the rules.  It was quite embarrassing (
especially for the candidates - me being one of them ) hence me asking that
we clearly document the necessary steps for consideration/inclusion into the
group.

Thanks,
