Dear Colleagues, I do not know if this topic has already been discussed before, so please forgive my ignorance if it has. When I was at the Koha North America conference in August, I asked if there was a software development road map for Koha and I was told that the development of Koha primarily follows the needs of its users instead of following such a road map. Is there (or should there be) a governing body or foundation which guides and supports the development of Koha. I know that a few other open source projects have governing bodies (e.g., Mozilla). There are pros and cons to having a governing body at the head (or foundation, depending on your perspective) of a software project. I have organized some research on governing bodies into the document linked to below. I wanted to bring this topic up at the next Koha general IRC meeting, but I thought that I would get your input before I did that. Please share your thoughts. https://atlas.mindmup.com/2015/10/7bd620904a98013345a353e2e87dfd31/foss_gove...
