What is the governance model for managing this as an open source project?
The feature roadmap and schedules for the open-vm-tools project will continue to be defined by VMware. As we work on setting up the development infrastructure, we also plan to publish these early enough so as to gather feedback and contributions from the community. Also, as mentioned earlier, VMware engineers will initially be the only approved committers. We will review incoming submissions for suitability for merging into the project. We will be looking to add community committers to the project based on their demonstrated contributions to the project. Finally, we also plan to set up a process for enhancement proposals, establishing sub-projects and so on.
