Linux Picnic Steering Committee

The Linux Picnic Steering Committee is the governing council of the annual Linux Picnic event, comprised of members of the community who make the picnic happen. The LPSC consists of up to 15 members as follows:

• up to 6 members elected from among the Linux Picnic membership (people who have volunteered at past picnics)
• up to 6 members representing Open Source Partner Organizations (OSPOs)
• up to 3 members appointed by the Board of Directors of The South Bay Community Network, the 501(c)3 non-profit umbrella corporation which the Linux Picnic is organized under

OSPO representatives limited to 6 voting seats

If the participating Open Source organizations send more than 6 representatives, the list of voting respresentatives on the steering committee will have to be narrowed down to 6 by the remainder of the steering committee. The Steering Commmittee can make a policy about how to deal with that. One suggestion so far is that the picnic should make a policy like this...

• all the Open Source Partner Organization representatives, even if not selected for a voting seat, will be invited to and welcomed in the discussion of the Steering Committee.
• selection of which organizations get the 6 voting seats should "take turns" as best we can arrange it. So each year the organizations which have been waiting longest for a turn in a voting seat should be given highest favor in the selection of who gets a turn that year.
