[MEI-L] Proposals MEI Strategy Development Group

[Sigfrid Lundberg]

Hi Benjamin and all other contributors to the strategy document! 

Thanks for good work!

I have to say that I'm leaning towards the A alternative, or something close to it. The reason for that is that the MEI guidelines is our most important product (and I suppose that it will be so for years to come). Hence I think that the technical committee is needed as the maintainer of that document and as an entity that assumes the responsibility for its development. I'm not sure the board should have that responsibility. There are people who have the capacities needed for work both in a board and being a guideline editor, but perhaps not simultaneously?

A gambit for a discussion from between an XML query and a transform.

Yours,

Sigfrid

Emne: [MEI-L] Proposals MEI Strategy Development Group

Dear MEI-L,

after Music Encoding Conference 2013 MEI Strategy Development Group
(MEI-Strat) was formed in order to elaborate proposals for future
organization of MEI community. During the past months we have been
working in order to start discussion on potential future forms of
organizing MEI community.

Now with the Music Encoding Conference 2014 being just around the corner
it seems appropriate to start discussion on this subject matter, as we
hope to distil a common community consensus on what might be new and
openly communicated structures of MEI. Furthermore we intend to prepare
presenations and a basis for further discussion for this year's
conference (May 20-23 in Charlottesville, VA).

==A short disclaimer==
Please be aware that anything in the proposal is indicative and subject
to discussion, be it the individual proposals in general, or specific
details, e.g. the length of terms for elected members.

==Words of thank==
We thank the MEI community for the possibility to work on this subject
matter, and for the confidence in our group!
I personally like to thank all collaborators for their time, effort and
good thoughts all of which were provided on expense of their private
free time!

==The Discussion==
The document containing our proposals is openly available online via
google-Drive (no login required). Although modification of the text is
not possible comments may be inserted by anyone with the link. Feel free
to provide your identity when commenting or just submit anonymously.
Of course it is not intended to discuss all raised topics in the
document. A lively discussion on MEI-L would be warmly welcome so bring
anything of interest to discussion there!
