GNU Radio Rules of Association

GNU Radio: Governance

This repository contains all the rules regarding the GNU Radio organization.

Articles of Association

The central and most important document in this repository is the one containing the Articles of Association. These are the main rules for the GNU Radio organization. They cannot be changed without approval from the General Assembly (for details see the file itself). A change in the AoA would also require the existence of a meeting minutes document that explains how the decision was made to make the change.

Code of Conduct

The Code of Conduct describes how we desire to conduct ourselves. The same document is part of other GNU Radio-related repositories, including the GNU Radio core repository itself.

By-Laws

On top of the Articles of Association, we have a set of by-laws. The bar for changing those is lower than that for the AoA itself. These by-laws regulate details of how the organization operates. The following by-law documents exist:

• Voting Procedures

Minutes

For every General Assembly and for every online vote done by the General Assembly, minutes will be taken and documented in the minutes/ subdirectory.

This is also where changes are explained and justified.
