The canonical location for this repository is

[on Gitorious](https://gitorious.org/conservancy/policies).  Copies of this

repository elsewhere, such as Github, are for backup purposes only.  If you

have contributions, submit them on Gitorious.

These policies are discussed in public with Conservancy's member projects and

other Conservancy enthusiasts on

[the polices-discuss mailing list](http://lists.sfconservancy.org/mailman/listinfo/policies-discuss).

The 'master' branch in this repository denotes the current polices that are

in-effect for the Software Freedom Conservancy, Inc.  Proposals are made by

people in forked versions on Gitorious, and then if the

[Conservancy staff](https://sfconservancy.org/about/staff/) plans to propose

them to

[Conservancy's Board of Directors](https://sfconservancy.org/about/board/),

they are merged into the 'ready-for-board-approval' branch.  Once approved by

the Board of Directors, Conservancy staff merges the changes into the

'master' branch.
