Node Summit 2017 – OPEN SOURCE GOVERNANCE MODELS: FROM BDFL TO CONSENSUS SEEKING – Myles Borins

Prior to the fork Node.js was run using a Benevolent Dictator for Life model. After merging with io.js the project adopted a consensus seeking model for landing all changes and governance.

The project has seen a resurgence in contribution in the new model, but it is not without it’s own problems. This session will examine the reality of these different models and lessons learned.
