This document discusses proposals for restructuring the leadership and governance of the Joomla open source community. It advocates for a more decentralized structure with multiple working groups and leadership teams, and a unified leadership team to coordinate across groups. This proposed structure aims to be more open, accountable, empowering and bottom-up while maintaining sustainability and volunteer participation. Effective structures are described as triangles with varying steepness of levels depending on participants' skills to perform their roles. Change management is also discussed as important but difficult for large-scale reforms, requiring significant effort to try and meet goals.
