There is now another Open Software group that is following BSD's
"Politburo" organization. On November 10, 1998 the EGCS steering
committee was announced. They say:
From its initial conception, the egcs project has strived to organize
itself in a manner which prevents any particular individual or
company from having control over the project.
To that end, when the project was formed several individuals were
contacted to make decisions for the egcs project. These individuals
come from a variety of backgrounds and represent various groups with
an interest in the long term health of GCC.
We feel it is in the best interest of the egcs project at this time
to turn this informal group into an official steering committee, and
to make public its membership.
The primary purpose of the steering committee is to make major
decisions in the best interests of the egcs project and to ensure
that the project adheres to its fundamental principles found in the
project's mission statement.
"steering committee" is just a fancier market-speak for "core team".
So the next time someone in the "Bazaar" criticizes BSD for our management
organization, point out their compiler is organized the same way.
