Category:Commitments

=Introduction=

This page is dedicated to keeping track of commitments of volunteers regarding work towards completing the Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) in as timely a fashion as possible. The motivation behind this page is to foster accountability and to help people clarify realistic goals and expectations. The aims of this are several:
 * To show commitments to an outside audience - where the outside audience gains insight into the effectiveness of the GVCS development team in terms of delivering results.
 * Provide transparency to the GVCS development process
 * Help volunteers plan their work more effectively by having an explicit chance to write down their goals
 * Provide insight into general organizational effectiveness to an outside audience. This is important in terms of creating an open source economy and a peer-to-peer culture.
 * Serve as part of a broader, open source economic development infrastructure for Open Source Ecology, and for Open Source Engineering in particular.

=How Does This Work?=

In order to keep people to their promises regarding volunteer work, the process is as follows.


 * All volunteers list their commitment on the wiki
 * This is content that others can see, so some level of accountability is built into the process.
