Governance on demand
Read OriginalThe article discusses open source project governance, proposing a 'governance on demand' model inspired by Nadia Eghbal. It argues that formal governance should be implemented only at the 'first sign of conflict,' rather than preemptively. It examines the challenges, prerequisites like strong culture and awareness, and natural outcomes like benevolent dictators or contributor-based decision-making when adopting this flexible, meta-level approach to project management.
