Hey Greg,

The openSUSE rules do not currently say under what conditions
Because we have no well defined "conditions". We currently only have
1. A "code of conduct" document, the guiding principles 1.1 An entity which is tasked to resolve conflicts, the board 1.1.1 Rules that state how this entity is elected, the board election rules
2. A way to tag people as contributors (Membership)
All of those are only loosely connected, yet reference each other and over time grew together in various way. However they are not remotely anything like bylaws and the current openSUSE project is not remotely anything like a foundation.
As you seem to have experience with building a foundation I would like to ask you to concentrate on this task and join the projects efforts to build one over at opensuse-foundation@opensuse.org :)

I just subscribed. If creation of the bylaws and original set of rules is to be done there, I think a brief article in the newsletter to that effect would be good. Obviously it is logical for that to take place there, but I had assumed they would take place on -project. fyi: for those that don't know: bylaws - formal documents that are enforceable by the legal system. Typically changeable, but only by a vote of the super-majority. Must be filed with the State. rules - still formal, but typically changeable by a simple majority. Maintained in the internal records. ie. Not filed with the State.
