This session will use the story of Node.js to discuss the positive and negative aspects of a variety of open source governance models. Prior to the fork Node.js was run using a Benevolent Dictator for Life model. After merging with io.js the project adopted a distributed consensus 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. The sessions will examine the reality of these different models and lessons learned.
