ProjectGovernance
BOINC is a community-based open-source project. Anyone can contribute to BOINC, and there are many ways to contribute. People who consistently contribute are able to participate in the project's decision-making processes.
BOINC's governance structure is described here.
Project decisions are generally made by community consensus. To manage this process, and to resolve conflicts when they occur, there is a Project Management Committee (PMC) consisting of community members who have consistently contributed to the project. Current PMC members are:
Leader of Einstein@Home. Director of the Albert Einstein Institute for Gravitational Physics, Adjunct Professor of Physics, U. of Wisconsin - Milwaukee
BOINC founder and architect. Research Scientist at University of California, Berkeley. Software Architect of SETI@home. Email: davea at ssl dot berkeley dot edu
Founder GridRepublic, Founder Find.Bio, Co-Founder Charity Engine
Director of SETI@home. Research Scientist at University of California, Berkeley.
Architect and developer at World Community Grid.
Technical lead of World Community Grid.
Meeting minutes from PMC meetings can be found at PMC_Minutes.
The PMC can be contacted through their public email distribution list at boinc_admin.
