Proposed Open Hours process
Based on the October F-BAC minutes:
The process starts with a GitHub issue. Anyone may request an overlooked issue to be put on the Open Hours agenda.
The agenda will be hosted on the General Discussion area. Anyone may add an issue to the agenda and when there is sufficient number of issues, the community manager will organize an Open Hours meeting to discuss them.
If issues can be resolved asynchronously, they will be removed from the pending agenda. Ultimately the goal is to resolve issues that aren't getting attention, not have another meeting to discuss issues.
The Open Hours meeting should include people who have a stake in the outstanding issues and people who can make decisions and plan any work that might be needed. This will likely include at least some committers and directors of the Foundation, but will be open for anyone who wants to attend.
The community manager will schedule a meeting to discuss outstanding issues. (See, for an example, the opaque symmetric keys SIG process.)
The goal of the meeting will be to make a decision about the next steps (if any) for each outstanding issue. Getting issues unstuck is a positive outcome.
Outcomes of the meeting should be recorded either in the GitHub issue and maybe copied to the Open Hours agenda discussion. After the meeting, a new agenda for the next Open Hours should be posted so that the next set of issues can be collected.
The above is not set in stone. Very likely we'll find better ways to do things. Think of this as a potential pilot program.
